NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ecosystem resilience is the inherent ability to absorb various disturbances and reorganize while undergoing state changes to maintain critical functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some factors that increase resilience include the species richness of the ecosystem, ecological redundancy of species within the ecosystem, and higher humidity levels. The source, persistence, and intensity of the stressor can also impact resilience.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ecological Resilience Once disturbed, new conditions can foster a new set of feedbacks and prevent the system from returning to its pre-disturbance equilibrium. For example, plants absorb phosphorus and limit algal growth in shallow lakes with low levels of phosphorus.

Detailed explanation-4: -An ecosystem can display resilience in at least two ways: in the ability to resist an environmental perturbation and not switch to another state, and in how quickly it recovers after the disturbance (1). However, research into what makes a terrestrial ecosystem resilient is complex.
