Resilience in ecology: Abstraction, distraction, or where the action is?
Increasingly, the success of management interventions aimed at biodiversity conservation
are viewed as being dependent on the 'resilience'of the system. Although the term …

Levees don't protect, they disconnect: A critical review of how artificial levees impact floodplain functions
Despite the recognition of floodplain importance in the scientific community, floodplains are
not afforded the same legal protection as river channels. In the United States alone, flood …
