And they have made remarkable progress in studying how habitats\u2014including coral reefs, lakes, wetlands, forests, and irrigation systems, among others\u2014absorb disturbance while continuing to function.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans, however, presents an interesting example to resilience scientists. If a lake can shift from clear to murky, could a city shift to a dramatically different stable state too? If biodiversity in ecosystems makes them resilient to disturbance, could diversity in urban systems serve a similar purpose?<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><span>tags:<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/seed_magazine\">seed_magazine<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/resilience\">resilience<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/cities\">cities<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"diigo-ps\">Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
