resilience - the capacity of a system to resist damage and recover to its original state in the face of perturbation or disturbance

BioResilience - the resilience of biological and ecological (life) systems, especially as it relates to biodiversity, ecosystem services and sustainability. Learn more about BioResilience.com here.

Biodiversity - The multitude and variety of distinct biological forms on Earth, often referring to a measure of the total number of different species and their relative abundance for a defined space (e.g., community, region, continent, globe). Of notable importance, biodiversity includes genetic variation within and across species. Learn more about biodiversity here.

Ecosystem Services - The goods and services (or, stocks and flows) that ecosystems provide. Raw materials, water purification, crop pollination, and flood control are several examples.

A key point on ecosystem services - they typically emerge in greater quantity or quality in biodiverse ecosystems (versus homogenous ecosystems).
