Assessing impacts of social-ecological diversity on resilience in a wetland coupled human and natural system

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2021
Theory posits that resilience of ecosystems increases when there is a diversity of agents (e.g., species) and linkages between them. If ecosystems are conceptualized as components of coupled human and natural systems, then a corollary would be that novel
