Forest ecosystems are shaped by disturbances and functional features of vegetation recovery after disturbances. There is considerable variation in basic disturbance characteristics, magnitude, severity, and intensity. Disturbance legacies provide possible explanations for ecosystem resilience. The impact (length and strength) of the pool of ecosystem legacies and how they vary at different spatial and temporal scales is a most promising line of further research. Analyses of successional trajectories, ecosystem memory, and novel ecosystems are required to improve modelling in support of forests. There is growing evidence that managing ecosystem legacies can act as a driver in adaptive management to achieve goals in forestry. Managers can adapt to climate change and new conditions through anticipatory or transformational strategies of ecosystem management. The papers presented in this Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including the impact of herbivores, wind, and anthropogenic factors, on ecosystem resilience.

基于生态系统的管理的自然扰动动力学分析—FORDISMAN

森林生态系统受干扰和干扰后植被恢复的功能特征的影响。基本干扰特征，大小，严重性和强度存在很大差异。干扰遗产为生态系统的复原力提供了可能的解释。生态系统遗产库的影响（长度和强度）以及它们在不同时空尺度上的变化是最有前途的研究方向。需要分析演替轨迹，生态系统内存和新型生态系统，以改善支持森林的模型。越来越多的证据表明，管理生态系统遗产可以充当适应性管理以实现林业目标的驱动力。管理者可以通过生态系统管理的预期或变革策略来适应气候变化和新条件。本期特刊中的论文涵盖了广泛的主题，包括食草动物，风和人为因素对生态系统复原力的影响。
