Ecological resilience is a concept in ecology that refers to the ability of an ecosystem to withstand and recover from disturbances or changes. It is the capacity of an ecosystem to function and maintain its structure and functions in the face of disturbances or changes in environmental conditions. Resilient ecosystems are able to adapt to changing conditions and bounce back from disruptions, maintaining their biodiversity, productivity, and other key ecological functions. Research in ecological resilience focuses on understanding the factors that contribute to a system's resilience, as well as how to promote and enhance resilience in ecosystems facing increasing pressures from human activities and climate change.
