- Wikipedia, Nov. 4, 2009(Resilience (ecology). In ecology, resilience is a property of an ecosystem which characterises ecosystem behaviour in relation to a perturbation. In order for ecosystem resilience to be defined, the ecosystem must have some sort of stability prior to the perturbation. Resilience cannot be defined for an ecosystem if this condition is not met)
- Gunderson, L.H. Ecological resilience - in theory and application, 2000, via WWW, viewed Nov. 4, 2009:abstr. (In 1973, C.S. Holling introduced the word resilience into the ecological literature as a way of helping to understand the non-linear dynamics observed in ecosystems. Ecological resilience was defined as the amount of disturbance that an ecosystem could withstand without changing self-organized processes and structures (defined as alternative stable states). Other authors consider resilience as a return time to a stable state following a perturbation)
