摘要

In an increasingly turbulent world, designing resilient farming systems is critical. Recent socio-ecological research has hypothesized that the general resilience of farming systems to disturbances is related to the interplay among four key resilience attributes—Agencies, Buffers, Connectivity, and Diversity (ABCD). However, the relative importance of these attributes in coping with multiple concurrent disturbances remains unclear. This study draws on longitudinal socio-ecological data, including biotic, abiotic, and socio-political shocks and community responses, to explore how ABCD attributes mediate farming systems' resilience. We combined satellite-derived soil moisture content, green soil cover, and aboveground biomass data, with focus group discussions in twelve communities, to analyze the land restoration outcomes under multiple disturbances. Our results demonstrate that land restoration “bright spots” exhibited sustained resilience despite exposure to simultaneous shocks. We further found that attributes, agency and buffers were essential for coping with multiple disturbances, while the contributions of connectivity and diversity were more context dependent, varying with the type of disturbance.
