Land potential is defined as the inherent, longterm potential of the land to sustainably generate ecosystem services. Management determines whether the inherent potential is sustainably realized. Sustainability depends on (1) potential degradation resistance, and (2) potential resilience, which is the capacity to recover from degradation. Land with similar potential should therefore respond similarly to management.
