The role of resonances in the photoionization cross-sections of ions is discussed in relation to the radiative recombination coefficient. The calculation of dielectronic contributions to the recombination coefficient is reviewed for nebular conditions, and the importance of autoionizing states close to the first ionization threshold is illustrated. For those ions for which dielectronic recombination is not important at nebular temperatures, an assessment of the accuracy of the best available recombination coefficients is given.
