What capacity does ecological resilience indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Ability of a system to maintain or regain function after disturbance
Ecological resilience is the capacity of an ecosystem to absorb disturbance and still maintain important functions, or to recover those functions after change. It does not mean that disturbances never occur, nor is it simply the number of species. Diversity can contribute to resilience, but resilience also depends on interactions, feedbacks, resources and recovery processes. Thus A is the complete answer.
