The term for an ecosystem’s response to environmental perturbations is ecosystem resilience. Ecosystem resilience refers to the ability of an ecosystem to recover from disturbances such as natural disasters, pollution, or climate change. A resilient ecosystem can maintain its essential functions and structures despite changes or stressors. Understanding resilience is vital for conservation and management strategies, as it helps predict how ecosystems might adapt or recover, thereby guiding effective interventions to support sustainability and ecosystem stability.
