  text: In this paper the concept of resilience is discussed on the base of 13 case
    studies from the German branch of the International Long-Term Ecological Research
    Program. In the introduction the resilience approach is presented as one possibility
    to describe ecosystem dynamics. The relations with the concepts of adaptability
    and ecological integrity are discussed and the research questions are formulated.
    The focal research objectives are related to the conditions of resilient behaviour
    of ecosystems, the role of spatio-temporal scales, the differences between short-
    or long-term dynamics, the basic methodological requirements to exactly define
    resilience, the role of the reference state and indicators and the suitability
    of resilience as a management concept. The main part of the paper consists of
    13 small case study descriptions, which demonstrate phase transitions and resilient
    dynamics of several terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems at different time scales.
    In the discussion, some problems arising from the interpretation of the time series
    are highlighted and discussed. The topics of discussion are the conceptual challenges
    of the resilience approach, methodological problems, the role of indicator selection,
    the complex interactions between different disturbances, the significance of time
    scales and a comparison of the case studies. The article ends with a conclusion
    which focuses on the demand to link resilience with adaptability, in order to
    support the long-term dynamics of ecosystem development.
