Abstract/Summary:
Ecological restoration attempts to restore parcels of land or water that have been damaged by a range of
past human activities. The scope of ecological restoration ranges from alpine meadows to saltwater
estuaries, and the techniques are as diverse as the many ecosystems to which they are applied. This guide
provides an introduction to ecological restoration for individuals, companies, students, non-profit
groups, and government agencies involved in or contemplating restoration projects. It emphasizes the
underlying concepts common to all restorations—the ecological concepts of succession, disturbance,
and historical range of variability
