Forest Landscape Restoration: Integrating Natural and Social Sciences by John St

Description: Forest Landscape Restoration by John Stanturf, David Lamb, Palle Madsen Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. Since then, forest landscape restoration (FLR) has emerged as a practical approach to forest restoration particularly in developing countries, where an approach which is both large-scale and focuses on meeting human needs is required.Yet despite increased investigation into both the biological and social aspects of FLR, there has so far been little success in systematically integrating these two complementary strands. Bringing experts in landscape studies, natural resource management and forest restoration, together with those experienced in conflict management, environmental economics and urban studies, this book bridges that gap to define the nature and potential of FLR as a truly multidisciplinary approach to a global environmental problem. The book will provide a valuable reference to graduate students and researchers interested in ecological restoration, forest ecology and management, as well as to professionals in environmental restoration, natural resource management, conservation, and environmental policy. Notes A more integrated view of the topic than existing titles, combining social and ecological aspectsComprehensiveEmphasis on landscape scaleBalanced international perspectives and examples, including developing nations and tropicsChapter contributions by respected researchersNew agenda for restoration (landscape focus, restoration of function) will have strong appeal to those with a utilitarian philosophy Back Cover Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development.
