Operationalizing the resilience of coral reefs in an era of climate change
Ecosystem management frequently aims to manage resilience yet measuring resilience has
proven difficult. Here, we quantify the ecological resilience of the largest reef in the
Caribbean and map potential benefits of marine reserves under two scenarios of
greenhouse gas emissions. Resilience is calculated using spatial ecological models and
defined as the probability of a reef remaining in its coral‐dominated basin of attraction such
that it does not flip into an alternate, algal‐dominated attractor. In practice, resilience is the …
