"Resilience and Stability in Ecological Systems"

Resilience and stability in ecological systems refer to a system’s ability to maintain its essential functions and structure when faced with disturbances. Resilience is the capacity to absorb shocks, like a storm or drought, and bounce back to its original state. Stability involves the system’s ability to remain consistent over time, resisting change. Together, these concepts help explain how ecosystems endure and recover from environmental challenges, ensuring long-term health and biodiversity. Maintaining resilience and stability is vital for preserving ecosystems’ services, like clean water, food, and climate regulation, crucial for both nature and human well-being.
