Ecosystem antifragility: beyond integrity and resilience [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 We review the concept of ecosystem resilience in its relation to ecosystem integrity from an information theory approach. We summarize the literature on the subject identifying three main narratives: ecosystem properties that enable them to be more ...

Legitimacy, Adaptation and Resilience in Ecosystem Management [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 Ecologists have made great strides in developing criteria for describing the resilience of an ecological system. In addition, expansion of that effort to social-ecological systems has begun the process of identifying changes to the social system necessary to foster resilience in an ecological system such as the use of adaptive management and integrated

Disturbance type determines how connectivity shapes ecosystem resilience. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Connectivity is fundamentally important for shaping the resilience of complex human and natural networks when systems are disturbed. Ecosystem resilience is, in part, shaped by the spatial arrangement of habitats, the permeability and fluxes between them,

Valuing Ecosystem Resilience [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 The concept of ecosystem resilience is being increasingly discussed as a driver of values people attach to biodiversity. It implies that marginal deteriorations in ecosystem conditions can abruptly result in non-marginal and irreversible changes in ecosystem functioning and the economic values that the ecosystem generates.

Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystem Functions [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015 Accelerating rates of environmental change and the continued loss of global biodiversity threaten functions and services delivered by ecosystems. Much ecosystem monitoring and management is focused on the provision of ecosystem functions and services under current environmental conditions, yet this could lead to inappropriate management guidance and ...

Diversity, 2021 Maximising genetic diversity in conservation efforts can help to increase the chances of survival of a species amidst the turbulence of the anthropogenic age. Here, we define the distribution and extent of genomic diversity across the range of the iconic

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEA) require consideration of the full suite of pressures and impacts affecting ecosystems. However, capacity limitations often severely limit our ability to do everything that we want or ‘should’ do, outside of short ...

Functional Richness and Resilience in Coral Reef Communities
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Within the Anthropocene the functional diversity of coral communities is changing rapidly, putting the resilience of many coral reef ecosystems in jeopardy. A better understanding of the relationship between coral functional diversity and reef resilience

Mapping the functional connectivity of ecosystem services supply across a regional landscape
eLife, 2022 Sustainably managing multifunctional landscapes for production of multiple ecosystem services (ES) requires thorough understanding of the interactions between ES and the ecological processes that drive them. We build upon landscape connectivity theory to
