This review provides an overview and integration of the use of resilience concepts to guide
natural resources management actions. We emphasize ecosystems and landscapes and …

State and transition models (STMs) are used to organize and communicate information
regarding ecosystem change, especially the implications for management. The fundamental …

Dynamic models have long been a common tool to support management of ecological and
economic systems and played a prominent role in the early days of resilience research …

The world's freshwater biotas are declining in diversity, range and abundance, more than in
other realms, with human appropriation of water. Despite considerable data on the …

Wetlands in arid and semi-arid regions are characterized by dry-and wet-phase vegetation
expression which responds to variable water resources. Monitoring condition trends in these …

We respond to the problem of declining streamflows in the northern Murray–Darling Basin,
Australia, a region that suffers from hydrological droughts and a drying trend. We partitioned …

In recognition of the influence of flow on riverine habitats and organisms, stream ecologists
have devoted considerable effort to the development of quantitative predictive relationships …

Many riparian ecosystems in European temperate regions have lost their inherent, highly
dynamic character due to human-induced impacts such as river channelization and flow …

Dryland wetlands are resilient ecosystems that can adapt to extreme periodic drought–flood
episodes. Climate change projections show increased drought severity in drylands that …

Numerous methods have been developed to support the assessment of environmental flow
requirements for rivers. Most methods are based around models of hydrologic time series …
