Biodiversity and Resilience of Ecosystem Functions.
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 undervaluation of the importance of biodivers...
متن کاملEngineering Resilience versus Ecological Resilience
Ecological science has been shaped largely by the biological sciences. Environmental science, on the other hand, has been shaped largely by the physical sciences and engineering. With the beginning of interdisciplinary efforts between the two fields, some of the fundamental differences between them are generating conflicts caused more by misunderstanding of basic concepts than by any difference...

متن کاملResilience in the Studies of Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning.
The concept of ‘resilience’, which helps describe system responses to change, is increasingly attracting attention [1–3]. Biodiversity is often thought to be a key feature underpinning the resilience of ecosystems [4–7]. Importantly, one of the primary focuses of biodiversity studies has been to elucidate the mechanisms by which biodiversity stabilizes ecosystem functions under environmental ch...
متن کاملEcosystem Consequences of Biodiversity Loss: the Evolution of a Paradigm
The ecosystem consequences of dramatic declines or changes in biodiversity have spurred considerable research and tremendous debate that has rekindled most of the major conflicts in ecology, creating a sense of déjà vu. These conflicts include whether ecosystem or community ecology provides better insights into the workings of nature, the relative importance of biotic vs. abiotic factors in gov...
