Abstract/Summary:
The book examines: 1) the overall context for restoration—ecological, social, economic, political, and philosophical, 2) how ecosystem processes such as fire, hydrology, and nutrient cycling are affected by restoration activities, 3) treatment effects on specific ecosystem components such as trees, understory plants, animals, and rare or invasive species, and 4) the details of implementing restoration projects, including smoke management, the protection of cultural resources, and monitoring. Each section is introduced with a case study that demonstrates some of the promise and pitfalls of restoration projects.
