Learn from this integrated approach to the management and
restoration of ecosystems edited by an international leader in the
field The Handbook of Ecological and Ecosystem Engineering delivers
a comprehensive overview of the latest research and practical
developments in the rapidly evolving fields of ecological and
ecosystem engineering. Beginning with an introduction to the theory
and practice of ecological engineering and ecosystem services, the
book addresses a wide variety of issues central to the restoration
and remediation of ecological environments. The book contains
fulsome analyses of the restoration, rehabilitation, conservation,
sustainability, reconstruction, remediation, and reclamation of
ecosystems using ecological engineering techniques. Case studies
are used to highlight practical applications of the theory
discussed within. The material in the Handbook of Ecological and
Ecosystem Engineering is particularly relevant at a time when the
human population is dramatically rising, and the exploitation of
natural resources is putting increasing pressure on planetary
ecosystems. The book demonstrates how modern scientific ecology can
contribute to the greening of the environment through the inclusion
of concrete examples of successful applied management. The book
also includes: A thorough discussion of ecological engineering and
ecosystem services theory and practice An exploration of ecological
and ecosystem engineering economic and environmental revitalization
An examination of the role of soil meso and macrofauna indicators
for restoration assessment success in a rehabilitated mine site A
treatment of the mitigation of urban environmental issues by
applying ecological and ecosystem engineering A discussion of soil
fertility restoration theory and practice Perfect for academic
researchers, industry scientists, and environmental engineers
working in the fields of ecological engineering, environmental
science, and biotechnology, the Handbook of Ecological and
Ecosystem Engineering also belongs on the bookshelves of
environmental regulators and consultants, policy makers, and
employees of non-governmental organizations working on sustainable
development.
