Sinopsis

This innovative book examines the critical roles of disturbance ecology, landscape ecology, ecological assembly, invasion biology, ecosystem health, and historical ecology in habitat restoration, and argues that restoration within a successional context best incorporates and utilizes the lessons from each of these disciplines. To successfully restore an ecosystem to a state that needs minimal care, the temporal dynamics of successional processes must be considered. By re-examining restoration in light of succession, the authors hope to encourage the development of new approaches to the practice of restoration supported by solid ecological principles.

De la contraportada

While studies of restoration and ecological succession have been published independently, there is much overlap between these approaches that has not been adequately explored. Linking Restoration and Ecological Succession integrates practical information from restoration projects around the world with the latest developments in successional theory.
