The Relationship Between Resilience and Sustainability of Ecological-Economic Systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the relationship between resilience and sustainability of ecological-economic systems and conclude that more criteria than just resilience have to be taken into account when designing policies for the sustainable development of ecological economic systems, and vice versa, the property of resilience should not be confused with the positive normative connotations of sustainability.

Opportunistic management for rangelands not at equilibrium.
TL;DR: The state-and-transition (S2T) model as mentioned in this paper is a feasible way to organize information for management, not because it follows from theoretical models about dynamics, but rather because management rather than theoretical criteria should be used in deciding what states to recognize in a given situation.
