what does stable ecosystems mean
Resistance and resilience: the relationship between stability and sustainability. Ecosystem stability is an important corollary of sustainability. Over time, the structure and function of a healthy ecosystem should remain relatively stable, even in the face of disturbance.If a stress or disturbance does alter the ecosystem is should be able to bounce back quickly.n ecosystem disturbance can be natural or human induced stress. An example of a natural disturbance is a hurricane or a tornado. An example of a human-induced or anthropogenic disturbance is tillage or pesticide application. Redundancy in ecosystem structure and function often infers stability on a system.
