Repository A generalized library service that curates data and that ideally provides
FAIR data management services.
Resilience The capability of a system to adapt to or recover from a disruption or
harmful event without losing essential functions; however, resilience allows for
adaptation of structure. For ecosystems, resiliency describes the ability of an
ecosystem to recover from disturbance without human intervention.
Resolution Resolution is the level of spatial, temporal, or categorical detail at
which a dataset is aggregated.
Resource Any physical or virtual entity of limited availability that provides a
benefit.
Responses Human actions, including policies, strategies, and interventions, to
address specific issues, needs, opportunities, or problems. In the context of ecosystem management, responses may be of legal, technical, institutional, economic, and behavioral nature and may operate at various spatial and time scales.
Revealed Preference Method An economic practice of analyzing the strength of
a preference that individuals have for certain outcomes, like reduced environmental harm, by studying what they are willing to buy and pay. See also stated
preference method.
Right-to-Farm Laws (US) Laws enacted by local municipalities in agricultural
regions that prohibit neighbors or the general public from bringing nuisance suits
against farmers for smells, noises, or other inconveniences associated with standard animal husbandry or food production processes.
Risk Risk is an estimate of impact or damage, and is a function of three factors: (1)
the likelihood (or frequency) of an event, (2) the vulnerability of a system to the
event (or, how protected a system is from the event), and (3) severity (or potential
impact, or exposure) of an event if it occurs and overwhelms the system’s protection; for events with high likelihood, high vulnerability, and high severity, risk is
high for a system.
Risk Multiplier A factor, such as climate change, which increases preexisting
risks.
Robustness A design strategy that selects systems which perform well under a
wide range of possible futures, reducing the need to precisely anticipate future
conditions.
Route The precise mode of transport, pathway, and waypoints followed by a flow
that transports a good or service from origin to destination.
Rule of Fifteen A common legal threshold in US State law specifying that utility
customer data and other PII data must be de-identified through aggregation into
groups of not less than fifteen individuals, any one of which comprises not more
than fifteen percent of the group’s total.
Rural An area of low-density human population and smaller population aggregates
outside of urban and peri-urban areas that usually are characterized by significant primary production (farming, fishing, forestry, mining) and tourism.
Safe Harbor (Data) A legal protection of specifically named PII data against
release unless an expert determination is made that this release does not create a
significant risk of identification and/or harm to the person(s) involved.
