Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.
