Abstract We currently face a dramatic loss of natural services, such as fish resources, fertile soils, and climate regulation. In order to sustainably manage these services,the resilience approach is increasingly being put forward. The cultural presumptions of this approach frequently go unnoticed. However, they lead to both a partial organismicconcept of ecological units and a one-sided concept of a highly bounded man-nature relationship - and thus to potentially inad equate recommendations for environmental management.
