Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities - QJSSH - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This research study aimed to examine the ecological resilience against the disruption in ecological networks in Elise Paschen's eco-poetry. The objective of this research delineated the investigation of the adaptive cycle. This adaptive cycle is responsible for ecological resilience and stability. The theoretical framework engaged in this qualitative research was Lance H. Gunderson's "Ecological Resilience—In Theory and Application" and C.S. Holling's "Resilience and Stability of Ecological Systems". The result proclaimed that anthropogenic activities and disturbing agents like harsh weather conditions create environmental changes. This environmental turbulence in the ecosystem generates ecological resilience that leads to adaptability, high stability, flexibility, and growth to recover and maintain the ecological balance after absorbing certain disturbances. The ecosystem goes through four phases to complete the adaptive cycle: exploitative, conservation, disturbance, and reorganization. In conclusion, the highly resilient ecosystem absorbs the accelerating exploitative ecological crisis through adaptation and reorganization.
