The use of the term ‘resilience’ goes back to the early nineteenth century, referring to “the capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation” (Merriam Webster, 2018). This term from engineering and the physical sciences was extended by ecologists to refer to the dynamic adaptability of biological systems. An early and well known example is Crawford Holling’s paper ‘Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems’:
