In fact, the very example used in Resilience Alliance writings to illustrate "memory" in ecosystems as a component of resilience is "seed banks". We mean, in saying this, soil seed banks, that enable re-generation following severe disturbances (fires, hurricanes). This is a nice extension of human engineered memory to ensure regeneration following a cataclysmic global scale disturbance Not only redundancy and diversity, but in the actions they are taking they are promoting “memory”.
