Synopsis:

Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.

Review: "By casting familiar questions in a different light and covering a wide variety of issues and environments, Restoration Ecology merits the attention of a broad spectrum of practicing ecologists...." Ecology

"...Anyone intersted in ecosystem restoration work would be advised to obtain a copy..." Canadian Field Naturalist
