The article's content is underdeveloped and could be improved. I can go more in depth on the subject matter and give more references and sources and improve the article overall.

Lead
Ecological resistance and resilience refer to the ability of an ecosystem to withstand or recover from disturbances. Disturbances can include natural events (such as wildfires, floods, or disease outbreaks) or man-made impacts (like deforestation or pollution). Resilient ecosystems can maintain their structure and function despite these disturbances.

Article body
In 1988, Hurricane Joan hit the rainforests along Nicaragua's Caribbean coast. Douglas Boucher and colleagues contrasted the resistant response of Qualea paraensis with the resilient response of Vochysia ferruginea; the mortality rate was low for Q. paraensis (despite extensive damage to the trees), but the growth rates of surviving trees were also low and few seedlings established. Despite the disturbance, populations were essentially unchanged.

Woodland Blends
Blended woodlands, particularly those containing timberlands, tend to be more safe for mammalian herbivores, soil-borne parasitic illness and specialized herbivores than single species woodland due to the higher resistance to fire and windstorms. Higher tree diversity leads to trees have more resistance to disturbance, direct benefits of this include more available nutrition, and increase in general species diversity.

Antibiotic Resistance
Cholera is a self-destructive severe illness characterized by diarrhea that is caused by the bacillus Vibrio cholerae, a comma-shaped bacillus indigenous to the marine environment that infects humans through contaminated water or food. In the treatment of cholera, antibiotics may also be given as part of the regimen to lower the volume of rehydration fluid intake, duration of diarrhea/excretion of V. cholerae, and feces volume in addition to oral and injectable rehydration therapy. Cholera patients have benefited from the effective use of a number of antimicrobials throughout the years, including azithromycin, and fluoroquinolones, and tetracycline [1]. In recent times, meanwhile, antimicrobial-resistant V. cholerae has become increasingly common, making treatment failures common [2]. Concerns regarding the emergence of AMR in recent times have grown.

Resistance in Marine Ecosystems
While sockeye salmon are harvested by the Bristol Bay salmon fishery, the salmon are essentially a mixture of populations that have undergone differential adaptation and spawn at various locations and times. Adjusting variations in output in several stocks have buffered variation in overall yield in this regional fishery. Because the spawning population is diverse, the overall capture is resistant to changes in the environment. Different spawning populations make significant contributions to the following generation at different times and locations. Since spawning is typically preferred in at least one habitat, the diverse reproductive techniques used by the complete set of populations allow for the maintenance of high catch rates even in the face of environmental changes. This system's primary characteristic is that comparable populations.
