Ecologists have used the concept of resilience since the 1970s. Resilience also features in many of the social and economic sciences, though in a less central role and with a variety of interpretations. Developing a fuller understanding of the concept of socialecological resilience promises advances in how science can contribute to achieving better environmental outcomes, locally and globally. ...

Fishery management programs designed to control Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) for optimum production have failed to prevent widespread fish population decline and have caused greater uncertainty for salmon, their ecosystems, and the people who depend upon them. In this special feature introduction, we explore several key attributes of ecosystem resilience that have been overlooked by tradi...

This paper focuses on calculating resilience index of 282 cities in China from 2012 to 2019, analysis the regional differences and random convergence. We use entropy method calculate urban index, adopt Dagum Gini coefficient analyze sources, explore variation coefficients beta convergence model diagnose mechanism. The conclusions are: (1) is at a medium low level with stable growth tendency, si...

PURPOSE Resilience is the individual's ability to bounce back from trauma. It has been studied for some time in the U.S., but few studies in China have addressed this important construct. In mainland China, relatively little is known about the resilience of patients in clinical settings, especially among patients with breast cancer.
