Ecological resilience provides a theoretical foundation for understanding how complex systems adapt to and recover from localized disturbances like hurricanes, fires, pest outbreaks, and floods, as well as large-scale perturbations such as climate change. Ecologists have developed resilience theory over the past three decades in an effort to explain surprising and nonlinear dynamics of complex adaptive systems.

Development of ecological resilience theory began in the 1960s with attempts to mathematically model dynamic ecosystems. Early models (Lewontin 1969, May 1977) focused on the stability of systems-that is, the processes that control or mediate the persistence of ecological structures.

His 1973 paper on the resilience of ecological systems had a substantial impact within ecology and other natural and social sciences. He has also contributed important ideas to ecological management, including Adaptive management and the Adaptive Cycle. More recently his work on the cross-scale structure and dynamics of ecosystems has been highly influential. Adaptive environmental assessment and management. Holling's most cited articles include
