Resilience and the Behavior of Large-scale Systems
Scientists and researchers concerned with the behavior of large ecosystemshave focused in recent years on the concept of resilience. Traditional perspectives held that ecological systems exist close to a steady state and resilience is the ability of the system to return rapidly to that state following perturbation. However beginning with the work of C. S. Holling in the early 1970s, researchers began to look at conditions far from the steady state where instabilities can cause a system to shift into an entirely different regime of behavior, and where resilience is measured by the magnitude of disturbance that canbe absorbed before the system…
