Understanding how ecosystems are assembled -- how the species that
make up a particular biological community arrive in an area,
survive, and interact with other species -- is key to successfully
restoring degraded ecosystems. Yet little attention has been paid
to the idea of assembly rules in ecological restoration, in both
the scientific literature and in on-the-ground restoration efforts.
Assembly Rules and Restoration Ecology, edited by Vicky M.
Temperton, Richard J. Hobbs, Tim Nuttle, and Stefan Halle,
addresses that shortcoming, offering an introduction, overview, and
synthesis of the potential role of assembly rules theory in
restoration ecology. It brings together information and ideas
relating to ecosystem assembly in a restoration context, and
includes material from a wide geographic range and a variety of
perspectives.
Assembly Rules and Restoration Ecology contributes new knowledge
and ideas to the subjects of assembly rules and restoration ecology
and represents an important summary of the current status of an
emerging field. It combines theoretical and practical aspects of
restoration, making it a vital compendium of information and ideas
for restoration ecologists, professionals, and practitioners.
