  2. Resistance (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_(ecology)

    Although commonly seen as distinct from resilience, Brian Walker and colleagues considered resistance to be a component of resilience in their expanded definition of resilience, [6] while Fridolin Brand used a definition of resilience that he described as "close to the stability concept 'resistance', as identified by Grimm and Wissel (1997)". [7]

  3. Ecological resilience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_resilience

    In ecology, resilience is the capacity of an ecosystem to respond to a perturbation or disturbance by resisting damage and subsequently recovering. Such perturbations and disturbances can include stochastic events such as fires, flooding, windstorms, insect population explosions, and human activities such as deforestation, fracking of the ground for oil extraction, pesticide sprayed in soil ...

  4. Soil resilience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_resilience

    Soil resistance, a related term refers to the ability of soil to resist changes or the extent to which a soil will recover from any cropping or management change. The term is distinct from Soil resilience as resistance is the inherent capacity to withstand disturbance, while resilience is the capacity to recover after disturbance. [1] [2]

  5. Ecological stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_stability

    Resilience also expresses the need for persistence although from a management approach it is expressed to have a broad range of choices and events are to be looked at as uniformly distributed. [17] Elasticity and amplitude are measures of resilience. Elasticity is the speed with which a system returns to its original/previous state.

  6. Resilience (materials science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilience_(materials_science)

    In material science, resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy when it is deformed elastically, and release that energy upon unloading. Proof resilience is defined as the maximum energy that can be absorbed up to the elastic limit, without creating a permanent distortion.

  7. Alternative stable state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_stable_state

    Intermediate states are considered unstable and are, therefore, transitory. Because ecosystems are resistant to state shifts, significant perturbations are usually required to overcome ecological thresholds and cause shifts from one stable state to another. The resistance to state shifts is known as "resilience" (Holling 1973).

  9. Climate resilience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_resilience

    Climate resilience is generally considered to be the ability to recover from, or to mitigate vulnerability to, climate-related shocks such as floods and droughts. [7] It is a political process that strengthens the ability of all to mitigate vulnerability to risks from, and adapt to changing patterns in, climate hazards and variability.
