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\u003cbr\u003eadaptive management approaches to ecosystem and resource management.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoundations of Ecological Resilience\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eFoundations of Ecological Resilience\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lance H.
