Produktinformationen zu „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.

Galatowitsch
Susan M. Galatowitsch is a Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Minnesota, where she has taught courses in restoration ecology, landscape ecology, horticultural science, and conservation biology. She also taught restoration ecology at the University of Cape Town while a Fulbright Fellow. Dr. Galatowitsch earned a B.A. in Environmental Biology from St. Mary's College-Minnesota, an M.S. in Botany from the University of Minnesota, and a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Iowa State University. Her research focuses on revegetation, management of invasive species, and climate change adaptation for wetland and riparian ecosystems.

Rezension zu „Ecological Restoration “
'The paradigm has shifted. While many mid-career conservation biologists cut their teeth on the notion of saving pristine ecosystems, we now know that there are few remaining pristine environments. Instead the future for many ecosystems lies in reclamation and restoration, and Sue Galatowitsch's new book points the way. Divided into restoration processes, approaches,and case studies, this book not only shows the way but boosts morale as the 19 case studies show spectacular results of restorations from ecosystems around the world. This book will provide perspective and background for researchers and the basis for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses for students interested in healing a broken earth.'-Michael J. Lannoo, The Iowa Lakeside Lab
Pressezitat
Ecological Restoration is a well-written, well-produced, and well-illustrated overview of the science of restoration ecology. The text is clear and readable. It recognizes the biological, social, and (to a lesser degree) economic aspects of modern restoration. It deservedly will become a required text in many restoration ecology courses, and should be on the shelves of restoration researchers and practitioners. This book does an admirable job summarizing the current state of a diverse and ever-changing field. Truman P. Young, Ecological Restoration
