Abstract in brief

  • Ecological stability is complex and difficult to measure because many international groups use vague terms that don't match scientific understanding, leading to confusion.
  • The current approach to studying disturbances and stability is overly simplistic and one-dimensional, which hampers clear communication and progress in understanding ecological systems.
  • To improve, ecological research and policies should recognize that stability and disturbances are multi-faceted and incorporate this complexity to better address global environmental changes.

@RobertJNowicki @atkinsjeff I've personally adopted the definitions in this paper and, when using either term, make sure to clearly define what I mean by it. Doesn't fix the larger problem of inconsistency, but baby steps right? https://t.co/z6INrrEFTM
