Viability and Resilience of Complex Systems Concepts, Methods and Case Studies from Ecology and Society /

One common characteristic of a complex system is its ability to withstand major disturbances and the capacity to rebuild itself. Understanding how such systems demonstrate resilience by absorbing or recovering from major external perturbations requires both quantitative foundations and a multidiscip...
