Handbook of ecological restoration (2 volume set)
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : PERROW Martin R, DAVY Anthony J
This two-volume set provides a comprehensive account of the rapidly emerging and vibrant science of the ecological restoration of both habitats and species. Ecological restoration aims to achieve complete structural and functional, self-maintaining biological integrity following disturbance. In practice, any theoretical model is modified by a number of economic, social, and ecological constraints. Consequently, material that might be considered as rehabilitation, enhancement, re-construction, or re-creation is also included. Volume 1, Principles of Restoration, defines the underlying principles of restoration ecology, in relation to manipulations and management of the biological, geophysical and chemical framework. Volume 2, Restoration in Practice, provides details of state-of-the-art restoration practice in a range of biomes within terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The Handbook of Ecological Restoration will be an invaluable resource to anyone concerned with the restoration, rehabilitation, enhancement or creation of habitats in aquatic or terrestrial systems, throughout the world.
