The term for the inherent ability of ecosystems to recover is ecological resilience. This concept describes how ecosystems can absorb disturbances and still maintain their basic structure and function. Resilience is influenced by factors such as biodiversity, species interactions, and environmental conditions. Ecosystems with high resilience can recover more quickly from disturbances like fires, storms, or human impacts, reinforcing the importance of maintaining ecological health and diversity, which supports long-term sustainability.
