This title presents the evolution of resilience theory in seminal
papers and commentary. Ecological resilience provides a theoretical
foundation for understanding how complex systems adapt to and
recover from localized disturbances like hurricanes, fires, pest
outbreaks, and floods, as well as large-scale perturbations such as
climate change. Ecologists have developed resilience theory over
the past three decades in an effort to explain surprising and
nonlinear dynamics of complex adaptive systems. Resilience theory
is especially important to environmental scientists for its role in
underpinning adaptive management approaches to ecosystem and
resource management. "Foundations of Ecological Resilience" is a
collection of the most important articles on the subject of
ecological resilience - those writings that have defined and
developed basic concepts in the field and help explain its
importance and meaning for scientists and researchers. The book's
three sections cover articles that have shaped or defined the
concepts and theories of resilience, including key papers that
broke new conceptual ground and contributed novel ideas to the
field; examples that demonstrate ecological resilience in a range
of ecosystems; and, articles that present practical methods for
understanding and managing nonlinear ecosystem dynamics.
"Foundations of Ecological Resilience" is an important contribution
to our collective understanding of resilience and an invaluable
resource for students and scholars in ecology, wildlife ecology,
conservation biology, sustainability, environmental science, public
policy, and related fields.
