Resilience is a key concept in ecology and describes the capacity of an ecosystem to
maintain its state and recover from disturbances. Numerous metrics have been applied to …

Under globally accelerating rates of ecosystem degradation, maintaining ecosystem function
is a priority to avoid loss of valuable ecosystem services. Two factors are important: changes …

Ecology and geomorphology recognize the dynamic aspects of resistance and resilience.
However, formal resilience theory in ecology has tended to deemphasize the geomorphic …

Natural microbial communities affect human life in countless ways, ranging from global
biogeochemical cycles to the treatment of wastewater and health via the human microbiome …

Response diversity, defined as the variable responses of species to environmental change,

We introduce a new framework for resilience, which is traditionally understood as the ability
of a system to absorb disturbances and maintain its state, by proposing a shift from a state …

Biome boundaries are expected to be sensitive to changes in climate and disturbance,
because it is here that ecological communities are at environmental, ecological or …
