~resilience

Individual studies, species, communities, approaches, etc.

Standardised set of metrics

Standardised geographical units and scales

Integrated geographical description of

Multivariate analyses

Ocean environment


Workshop output

Aim: to provide the first integrated synthesis of resilience spatial patterns in the Barents Sea, at various scales and in relation to environmental conditions

Synthesis WS1 is not a substitute for individual studies -> consistency between studies is more important than details within studies
