Adaptability
Adaptability (adaptō "fit to, adjust") is a feature of a system or of a process.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological (life) and diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

Biomass
Biomass is an industry term for getting energy by burning wood, and other organic matter.

Biome
A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in.

Climate change adaptation
Climate change adaptation is a response to global warming and climate change, that seeks to reduce the vulnerability of social and biological systems to relatively sudden change and thus offset the effects of global warming.

Creativity
Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed.

Decision-making
In psychology, decision-making (also spelled decision making and decisionmaking) is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities.

Ecological resilience
In ecology, resilience is the capacity of an ecosystem to respond to a perturbation or disturbance by resisting damage and recovering quickly.

Ecology
Ecology (from οἶκος, "house", or "environment"; -λογία, "study of") is the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment.

Economics
Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

Ecosystem
An ecosystem is a community made up of living organisms and nonliving components such as air, water, and mineral soil.

Function (biology)
In biology, function has been defined in many ways.

Genetic diversity
Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

Homogeneity and heterogeneity
Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts often used in the sciences and statistics relating to the uniformity in a substance or organism.

Human
Humans (taxonomically Homo sapiens) are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina.

Hydrology
Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources and environmental watershed sustainability.

Institution
Institutions are "stable, valued, recurring patterns of behavior".
New!!: Adaptive capacity and Institution · See more »
Knowledge
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.

Landscape
A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms and how they integrate with natural or man-made features.

Learning
Learning is the process of acquiring new or modifying existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences.

Logistic function
A logistic function or logistic curve is a common "S" shape (sigmoid curve), with equation: where.

Need
A need is something that is necessary for an organism to live a healthy life.

Positive feedback
Positive feedback is a process that occurs in a feedback loop in which the effects of a small disturbance on a system include an increase in the magnitude of the perturbation.

Power (social and political)
In social science and politics, power is the ability to influence or outright control the behaviour of people.

Primary production
Global oceanic and terrestrial photoautotroph abundance, from September 1997 to August 2000. As an estimate of autotroph biomass, it is only a rough indicator of primary-production potential, and not an actual estimate of it. Provided by the SeaWiFS Project, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and ORBIMAGE. In ecology, primary production is the synthesis of organic compounds from atmospheric or aqueous carbon dioxide.

Problem solving
Problem solving consists of using generic or ad hoc methods, in an orderly manner, to find solutions to problems.

Project stakeholder
According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the term project stakeholder refers to, "an individual, group, or organization, who may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of a project" (Project Management Institute, 2013).

Prosperity
Prosperity is the state of flourishing, thriving, good fortune or successful social status.

R/K selection theory
In ecology, r/K selection theory relates to the selection of combinations of traits in an organism that trade off between quantity and quality of offspring.
New!!: Adaptive capacity and R/K selection theory · See more »
Social capital
Social capital is a form of economic and cultural capital in which social networks are central; transactions are marked by reciprocity, trust, and cooperation; and market agents produce goods and services not mainly for themselves, but for a common good.

Social network
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social interactions between actors.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

System
A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of items forming an integrated whole.
