This approach focuses on resilience, functional diversity, flexibility and complexity, here used to examine housing sustainability within an industrialised sub/urban context in terms of design philosophy, ownership, management bases, community engagement and funding mechanisms.
The study is critical for understanding the future of forests in the New England states, and for evaluating their functional stability and resilience to changing climate and changing disturbance regimes, both of which would alter forest structures, function, and tree species composition.
Our findings show that the organic strawberry farms produced higher quality fruit and that their higher quality soils may have greater microbial functional capability and resilience to stress.
A utility threshold is the level of human-induced pressure (e.g., pollution) at which small changes produce substantial improvements toward the EBM goal of protecting an ecosystem's structural (e.g., diversity) and functional (e.g., resilience) attributes.
While the ARQ is presented as a functional measure of resilience in adolescents, evidence of scale and test-retest reliability, criterion validity and sensitivity to change will enhance understanding of and confidence in the measure's psychometric properties.
