According to Ives and Carpenter (2007), ecological stability of an environ can be described in multiple perspectives. It may be described only in terms of its ability to withstand or bounce back from a disturbance disregarding the number of its alternative stable states. It can also be described only in terms of its ability to return to its primary stable state. I am after which definition of ecological stability is most applicable to an urban ecosystem, considering the level of disturbance it has.
Hi Raya,
The following papers may provide you a good starting point :
1. Integrating humans into ecology: opportunities and challenges for studying urban ecosystems by M Alberti et al. in the journal BioScience (2003).
2. Urban ecology and special features of urban ecosystems by F Rebele in the journal Global ecology and biogeography letters (1994).
Hope this to be helpful!
