Von der hinteren Coverseite

New and updated coverage of ecological engineering by pioneers of the field

Written by the founding and leading authorities in the field, Ecological Engineering and Ecosystem Restoration provides a firm grounding in the fundamentals, theory, and latest techniques for using ecological science to solve environmental problems. A wealth of new examples, processes, and technological advances are thoroughly examined and discussed with expert insight that only the pioneers of this now mature field can offer.

With an in-depth focus on both theories and methodologies, this detailed "how-to" guide presents real-world experience and ecosystem models for designing, managing, and modifying ecosystems in three comprehensive sections:
* Introduction-Covers basic concepts and examples, including nineteen principles of ecological engineering
* Applications of Ecological Engineering-Covers approaches to ecological restoration and enhancement in eight ecosystem chapters, including a wide variety of ecological management case studies
* Ecological Engineering Tools-Covers ecological modeling techniques specific to predicting ecosystem structure and function in ecosystem creation and restoration

Ecological Engineering and Ecosystem Restoration has the new and updated information that is essential for today's environmental scientists and engineers, wetlands scientists and managers, ecologists and ecological engineers, civil engineers, and landscape architects.
