“Resiliency”
Updated: Feb 26

Is there a difference between the word resiliency and the word resilient? Does one refer to the state of present moment and the other carry with it the probability of tomorrow’s survival? Does the plant care about itself, or is it concerned with preserving the entire shoreline? Do they know their dead parts provide a future service? Does the mangrove displace itself by floating propagule or can it stick around for support?
