Notes

  • Identifies three general strategies for restoration in a climate change context, by increasing the systems ability to self organized under stress or disturbance, and thereby have functional resilience:
    1. Component Redundancy - restore more components that all provide the same functions.
    2. Functional Redundancy - introduce additional components that provide the same functions.
    3. Increased Connectivity - increase the spatial proximity and easy access to components.
  • These strategies are oriented towards allow successful species reorganize in response to change, and be able to find the habitat functions that they need within the changing landscapes.
