There are three common conceptualizations of resilience: persistence, recovery, and adaptability. While researchers apply all three in studies of forest ecosystems, the conceptualization used can have important empirical implications. We conducted a systematic literature review of empirical studies of forest resilience in the US from 2010 to 2020 to determine how researchers conceptualized, measured, and reflected the concept of resilience in reporting and interpreting their results. We determined that most studies defined resilience as recovery to the original state post-disturbance, focused on the state of individual species within the ecosystem rather than the state of the ecosystem itself, and measured the impacts of a single disturbance rather than impacts of multiple disturbances. As climate change and other stressors exacerbate impacts to ecosystems, it is important to move beyond the persistence of or recovery to the original state as the goal for resilient ecosystems and to focus instead on maintaining ecosystem functions and enhancing their adaptability.

复原力的概念如何应用于跨森林地区的研究？

弹性有三个常见的概念：持久性、恢复性和适应性。虽然研究人员将这三种方法应用于森林生态系统的研究，但所使用的概念化可能具有重要的经验意义。我们对 2010 年至 2020 年美国森林恢复力的实证研究进行了系统的文献综述，以确定研究人员在报告和解释其结果时如何概念化、测量和反映恢复力的概念。我们确定，大多数研究将恢复力定义为干扰后恢复到原始状态，关注生态系统内单个物种的状态而不是生态系统本身的状态，并测量单次干扰的影响而不是多重干扰的影响。随着气候变化和其他压力因素加剧对生态系统的影响，恢复生态系统的目标不应只是维持或恢复到原始状态，而应注重维护生态系统功能并增强其适应性。
