Abstract
Quantitative assessments of ecosystem stability are critical to properly understand the internal state of ecosystems and to implement scientific ecosystem management. Historically, ecosystem stability assessments have remained limited in their consideration of ecosystem services. This paper presents a new method for assessing ecosystem stability that combines ecosystem quality and function. We used this method to assess ecosystem stability in the upper Baiyangdian watershed and compared it to a single-indicator approach. Our results showed that the coupled approach was more accurate, especially when assessing ecosystems with low carrying capacity. This new method provides a feasible way to quantify ecosystem stability and inform regional ecosystem management.
期刊介绍：
Contemporary Problems of Ecology is a multidisciplinary periodical that publishes original works on the following subjects: theoretical and methodical issues of ecology, regional aspects of ecology, regional ecological disasters, structure and functioning of ecosystems, anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. All basic aspects of modern ecology, including the most complicated interactions between living organisms and their environment, are presented. Some of the journal issues are dedicated to global changes in biological diversity at various levels of organization (populations, species, ecosystems) principles and methods of nature conservation.
