Recent evidence shows that the frequencies and intensities of past disturbances can mediate recovery rates from current disturbances [12]. Moreover, global environmental change and increased human activities often cause other co-occurring and/or subsequent disturbances. These additional disturbances can prolong recovery, and even cause baselines to be shifted, thereby inhibiting the system from returning to a ‘truly’stable equilibrium state. For systems considered to exhibit only partial recovery after disturbances, the measure of return time could be substituted by another component of change, such as the capacity to recover from disturbance (ie, completeness of recovery)[2], to alternatively represent resilience. This representation does not need to assume full recovery, and would be more suitable for tracking the long-term resilience of systems affected by frequent, multiple disturbances (see Figure 2 in [2]).We welcome Hodgson et al.’s bivariate measure [1], which provides a new, easily understandable representation for monitoring changes in resilience. However, similar to other developed indicators of resilience [2, 6], it cannot be relied on as a silver bullet approach. Rather, these indicators should be specifically tailored to the study systems and disturbances affecting them. Future efforts should address how a combination of these metrics, when available, can be applied to set quantifiable management and restoration targets to operationalize the concept of ‘resilience management’[6].
