| Résumé : |
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 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. This book 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 practitio-ners. compiles a foundation of practical knowledge and scientific insight that will help ecological restoration become the powerful reparative and healing tool that the world needs. Highlighting important advances in the natural, physical, and social sciences, the series will offer both individu-ally authored titles and well-edited collections of papers, and will address terrestrial, insular, and aquatic ecosystems at all levels. |
