Ecological Restoration

Ecological Restoration provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies being used around the world to reverse human impacts to landscapes, ecosystems, and species. This book aims to improve the outcomes of restoration practice by strengthening the connections between ecological concepts and real-world decision-making: students explore each topic considering both research-based knowledge and lessons learned from nineteen actual restorations. Details of these ecological restorations, from underwater reefs to mines in hot deserts, are woven into each chapter, presented as case studies, and used in exercises. Because introductory ecological restoration courses are taken by undergraduate students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds, the book explains and applies basic concepts from many supporting fields that serve as the foundation for practice, including ecology, conservation biology, earth and water sciences, environmental design, and public policy. For Instructors (Available to Qualified Adopters) Instructor's Resource Library The Instructor's Resource Library features all of the textbook's figures and tables, provided both as JPEGs (high-and low-resolution) and ready-to-use PowerPoint presentations. All of the images have been formatted and optimized for excellent projection quality.
