虽然复原力思维在修复从业者中越来越受欢迎和吸引力，但它具有抽象的性质，阻碍了有效的应用。由于社会和生态环境对弹性及其组成部分的定义不同，个别管理人员或利益相关者可能会对系统状态的定义、状态变化的发生、首选的状态特征以及实现成功的适当方法产生分歧。然而，激励措施和任务往往迫使管理人员展示他们的工作如何增强复原力。不明确或相互矛盾的定义可能会导致以恢复力的名义进行无效甚至有害的决策;基本上，在这种情况下，任何方便的行动都可以被吹捧为增强恢复力。我们认为，任何成功的弹性管理项目必须明确识别关注的压力源，状态特征，适当管理的规模，以及与管理目标相关的成功指标（4S）。我们提出了一个深思熟虑的过程，以确定这些组成部分的恢复力管理保护。我们的建议是由两个案例研究的启发和通知，其中压力，状态，规模和成功的不同定义将导致非常不同的管理选择，对生物多样性目标的潜在严重后果。
Although resilience thinking is increasingly popular and attractive among restoration practitioners, it carries an abstract quality that hinders effective application. Because resilience and its components are defined differently in social and ecological contexts, individual managers or stakeholders may disagree on the definition of a system's state, occurrence of a state change, preferred state characteristics, and appropriate methods to achieve success. Nevertheless, incentives and mandates often force managers to demonstrate how their work enhances resilience. Unclear or conflicting definitions can lead to ineffective or even detrimental decision-making in the name of resilience; essentially, any convenient action can be touted as resilience-enhancing in this case. We contend that any successful resilience management project must clearly identify up-front the stressors of concern, state traits, scales of appropriate management, and success indicators (the 4S's) relevant to the management targets. We propose a deliberate process for determining these components in advance of resilience management for conservation. Our recommendations were inspired and informed by two case studies wherein different definitions of stressors, state, scales, and success would result in very different management choices, with potentially serious consequences for biodiversity targets.
