Abstract/Summary:
Ecological engineering is an emerging field dedicated to the design and construction of sustain- able ecosystems that provide a balance of natural and human values. Over the past several years, ecological engineering has begun to coalesce as a distinct science. Successes of ecological engineering make it an increasingly attractive alternative to traditional engineering approaches, which are often much more expensive to construct and sustain.
