Ten definitions of resilience with respect to the degree of normativity

You will need massive amounts of resilience in order to recover. What is your doctor doing to assist you in that endeavor?

(I) DESCRIPTIVE CONCEPT
(Ia) ECOLOGICAL SCIENCE
1) Original-ecological	Measure of the persistence of systems and of their ability to absorb change and disturbance and still maintain the same relationships between populations or state variables	Holling 1973:14
2) Extended-ecological	The magnitude of disturbance that can be absorbed before the system changes its structure by changing the variables and processes that control behavior and The capacity of a system to experience shocks while retaining essentially the same function, structure, feedbacks, and therefore identity	Gunderson and Holling 2002:4 Walker et al. 2006:2
2a) Three characteristics	capacities i) to absorb disturbances, ii) for self-organization, and iii) for learning and adaptation	Walker et al. 2002
2b) Four aspects	1) latitude (width of the domain), 2) resistance (height of the domain), 3) precariousness, 4) cross-scale relations	Folke et al. 2004:573
3) Systemic-heuristic	Quantitative property that changes throughout ecosystem dynamics and occurs on each level of an ecosystem’s hierarchy	Holling 2001
4) Operational	Resilience of what to what? and The ability of the system to maintain its identity in the face of internal change and external shocks and disturbances	Carpenter et al. 2001 Cumming et al. 2005
(Ib) SOCIAL SCIENCES
5) Sociological	The ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political, and environmental change	Adger 2000:347
6) Ecological-economic	Transition probability between states as a function of the consumption and production activities of decision makers and The ability of the system to withstand either market or environmental shocks without loosing the capacity to allocate resources efficiently	Brock et al. 2002:273 Perrings 2006:418
(II) HYBRID CONCEPT
7) Ecosystem-services-related	The underlying capacity of an ecosystem to maintain desired ecosystem services in the face of a fluctuating environment and human use	Folke et al. 2002:14
8) Social-ecological system
8a) Social-ecological	The capacity of a social-ecological systems to absorb recurrent disturbances (...) so as to retain essential structures, processes and feedbacks	Adger et al. 2005:1036
8b) Resilience-approach	A perspective or approach to analyze social-ecological systems	Folke 2006
(III) NORMATIVE CONCEPT
9) Metaphoric	Flexibility over the long term	Pickett et al. 2004:381
10) Sustainability-related	Maintenance of natural capital in the long run	Ott and Döring 2004:213f
