TLDR
This work recommends the simultaneous consideration of 'resistance' and 'recovery' as measurable components that together represent resilience.
Abstract
The authors thank Katrina Brown, Alden Griffith, and four anonymous reviewers for valuable insight into resilience. D.H., J.L.M., and D.J.H. are supported by the Natural Environment Research Council.

Navigating the complexity of ecological stability

TL;DR: This work assesses the scientific and policy literature and provides recommendations for theoreticians, empiricists and policymakers on how to better integrate the multidimensional nature of ecological stability into their research, policies and actions.

Biodiversity and species competition regulate the resilience of microbial biofilm community.

TL;DR: This study investigated the resilience of biofilm communities with a gradient of diversity, and explored the relationship between biodiversity and stability in response to a pH shock, showing that all bioreactors could recover to stable performance after pH disturbance.

Towards a Comparable Quantification of Resilience.

TL;DR: The potential of the framework for attribution and integration across the various components underlying resilience is demonstrated, using a bivariate framework that jointly considers the disturbance impact and the recovery rate, both normalized to the undisturbed state of a system.

Low growth resilience to drought is related to future mortality risk in trees

Lucía DeSoto, +36 more
TL;DR: It is found that trees that died during drought were less resilient to previous dry events compared to surviving conspecifics, but the resilience strategies differ between angiosperms and gymnosperms.

Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems

TL;DR: The traditional view of natural systems, therefore, might well be less a meaningful reality than a perceptual convenience.

Resilience, Adaptability and Transformability in Social–ecological Systems

TL;DR: The concept of resilience has evolved considerably since Holling's (1973) seminal paper as discussed by the authors and different interpretations of what is meant by resilience, however, cause confusion, and it can be counterproductive to seek definitions that are too narrow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological Resilience, Biodiversity, and Scale

TL;DR: It is proposed that ecological resilience is generated by diverse, but overlapping, function within a scale and by apparently redundant species that operate at different scales, thereby reinforcing function across scales.

Cultural dimensions of climate change impacts and adaptation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed important new research from across the social sciences and found that climate change threatens important cultural dimensions of people's lives and livelihoods, including material and lived aspects of culture, identity, community cohesion and sense of place.
