Abstract
In a world beset by environmental disasters and anthropogenic disturbances, resilience might be the key to the persistence of natural systems. Yet, the 'measurement' of resilience is hampered by the multiple (and often conflicting) processes that yield the response of systems to insult. We recommend the simultaneous consideration of 'resistance' and 'recovery' as measurable components that together represent resilience.Keywords: elasticity; latitude; precariousness; recovery; resilience; resistance
