Resilience

Resilience is commonly addressed when dealing with the sustainable planning and management of social–ecological systems, but there is a need for a unified framework for its quantitative assessment and application.

The paper “ORF, an operational framework to measure resilience in social–ecological systems: the forest case study” by RESONATE researchers Francisco Lloret, Pilar Hurtado, Josep Maria Espelta, Luciana Jaime, Laura Nikinmaa, Marcus Lindner and Jordi Martínez-Vilalta presents an operational resilience framework (ORF), which allows to standardize the terminology and to frame and measure resilience, allowing sounder comparisons and better-supported recommendations for the improvement of resilience in social–ecological systems, particularly in forest systems.
