Abstract

Assessing the links between resilience, disturbance and functional traits in paleoecological datasets

Highlights

  • Functional traits are integral to understanding the patterns and drivers of ecological resilience

  • Response traits determine whether a system exhibits properties resulting in higher resistance or faster recovery rates, while effects traits are important for identifying links between environmental changes and ecosystem functioning

  • Paleoecological research methods have been identified as an important tool for understanding patterns of ecological resilience across different regions, paleoecologists have only recently begun to think about how functional ecological approaches can be used in the context of sub-fossil assemblages from sediments

Introduction

Assessing the links between resilience, disturbance and functional traits in paleoecological datasets Functional traits are integral to understanding the patterns and drivers of ecological resilience. Response traits determine whether a system exhibits properties resulting in higher resistance or faster recovery rates, while effects traits are important for identifying links between environmental changes and ecosystem functioning.
