effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner. This research argues that resilience is a context-specific multidimensional holistic concept which can guide the post-conflict reconstruction operations to produce a withstanding community that has the potential to prevent or at least limits the possibility of engaging in conflicts.

Actually studies showed that there is a forest global vulnerability to drought (Choat et al). However, a general and global theory of how ecosystems respond to drought is yet not found.
