Our understanding of how ecosystems function has changed from an equilibria-based view to one that recognizes the dynamic, fluctuating, nonlinear nature of aquatic systems. This current understanding requires that we manage systems for resilience. In this review, we examine how resilience has been defined, measured and applied in aquatic systems, and more broadly, in the socioecological systems in which they are embedded. Our review reveals the importance of managing stressors adversely impacting aquatic system resilience, as well as understanding the environmental and climatic cycles and changes impacting aquatic resources. Aquatic resilience may be enhanced by maintaining and enhancing habitat connectivity as well as functional redundancy and physical and biological diversity. Resilience in aquatic socioecological system may be enhanced by understanding and fostering linkages between the social and ecological subsystems, promoting equity among stakeholders, and understanding how the system is impacted by factors within and outside the area of immediate interest. Management for resilience requires implementation of adaptive and preferably collaborative management. Implementation of adaptive management for resilience will require an effective monitoring framework to detect key changes in the coupled socioecological system. Research is needed to (1) develop sensitive indicators and monitoring designs, (2) disentangle complex multi-scalar interactions and feedbacks, and (3) generalize lessons learned across aquatic ecosystems and apply them in new contexts.

Aquatic Sciences

AQUATIC SC​​IENCES – RESEARCH ACROSS BOUNDARIES 发表有关水生系统（淡水和海洋系统）及其边界的原始研究、概述和评论，包括人类活动对这些系统的影响。覆盖范围从分子水平的机制研究到整个生态系统规模的调查。 AQUATIC SC​​IENCES 发表文章介绍跨学科和环境边界的研究，包括研究地质、微生物、生物、化学、物理、水文和社会过程之间的相互作用，以及评估陆地-水、空气-水、底栖-远洋、河流-海洋、透镜-水和地下水-地表水的相互作用。

Aquatic Sciences publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries on aquatic systems (both freshwater and marine) and their boundaries, including the impacts of human activities on these systems. The scope ranges from molecular mechanisms to investigations at the ecosystem level. Aquatic Sciences also features interdisciplinary and boundary-crossing research that examines interactions among geological, microbial, biological, chemical, physical, hydrological, and social processes, as well as assessments of interactions between land-water, air-water, benthic-oceanic, river-ocean, lens-water, and groundwater-surface water.
