Resilience could be approached from several perspectives. At first sight a tree-based perspective focusing on the products that trees provide appears logical. However, many of the benefits that people derive from trees are indirect, for example the positive ef - fects of trees on the production of crops and livestock, through regulation of the cycles of water, nutrients and carbon, which would not be appreciated when focusing on the goods and direct benefits that people derive from trees. We have thus chosen to review the resilience provided by trees from the broader ecosystem services perspective and its contribution to land users’ livelihoods.
