Resilience and Functional Diversity: Key Drivers of Ecosystem Stability and Recovery

Abstract

Resilience and functional diversity are two fundamental ecological concepts that determine the stability, productivity, and recovery potential of ecosystems. Resilience refers to the ability of an ecosystem to absorb disturbances and return to its original state, while functional diversity describes the range of functional traits within a community that influence ecosystem processes. Together, they play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem services under environmental change. This article explores the theoretical foundations, mechanisms, and ecological significance of resilience and functional diversity, along with their implications for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management.
