Evaluated definitions, assessment methods, and operationalization of resilience in SES contexts.
59% of studies utilized static assessments.
74% did not account for uncertainty in resilience assessment.
96% neglected cross-scale dynamics or the interplay of shocks.
Indicator-based approaches constituted 63%, but lacked standardization.
Identified six core resilience principles evaluated across current practices.
