[eng] Our world is subjected to a panoply of drivers of change. In this context, the understanding on how our biosphere resists, absorbs or is altered by the changes, appears as a hot question in ecology. In this respect, two ecological concepts appear as essential, resilience and biotic interactions. Resilience is related to how ecosystems persist under stress or suffering disturbances. Interactions among species are to a large part responsible for the delivery of ecosystem functions, and form the architecture of biodiversity. Moreover, a substantial part of ecosystem resilience is founded on species interactions. This thesis is an attempt to shed some light on these issues through the deep exploration of specific case studies in seagrass ...
