Abstract

The term ‘resilience’ has diverse meanings across fields, but it is commonly described as a system’s ability to endure, adapt, and recover from a shock/stress/trauma and establish equilibrium/stability. Engineering resilience, ecological resilience, and evolutionary resilience are the three forms of resilience.
