www.allitebooks.com ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION Ecological restoration is a rapidly evolving discipline that is engaged with developing both methodologies and strategies for repairing damaged and polluted ecosystems and environments During the last decade the rapid pace of climate change coupled with continuing habitat destruction and the spread of non-native species to new habitats has forced restoration ecologists to re-evaluate their goals and the methods they use This comprehensive handbook brings together an internationally respected group of established and rising experts in the field The book begins with a description of current practices and the state of knowledge in particular areas of restoration, and then identifies new directions that will help the field achieve increasing levels of future success Part I provides basic background about ecological and environmental restoration Part II systematically reviews restoration in key ecosystem types located throughout the world In Part III, management and policy issues are examined in detail, offering the first comprehensive treatment of policy relevance in the field, while Part IV looks to the future Ultimately, good ecological restoration depends upon a combination of good science, policy, planning and outreach – all issues that are addressed in this unrivalled volume Stuart K Allison is the Watson Bartlett Professor of Biology and Conservation, and Director of the Green Oaks Field Study Center at Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, USA He is the author of Ecological Restoration and Environmental Change (Routledge, 2012) Stephen D Murphy is Professor and Director of the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada He is the editor-in-chief of Restoration Ecology www.allitebooks.com www.allitebooks.com ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION Edited by Stuart K Allison and Stephen D Murphy www.allitebooks.com First published 2017 by Routledge Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN and by Routledge 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business © 2017 Stuart K Allison and Stephen D Murphy, selection and editorial material; individual chapters, the contributors The right of the editors to be identified as the authors of the editorial material, and of the authors for their individual chapters, has been asserted in accordance with sections 77 and 78 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 All rights reserved No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilized in any form or by any electronic, mechanical, or other means, now known or hereafter invented, including photocopying and recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publishers Trademark notice: Product or corporate names may be trademarks or registered trademarks, and are used only for identification and explanation without intent to infringe British Library Cataloguing-in-Publication Data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication Data Names: Allison, Stuart K., editor | Murphy, Stephen D., editor Title: Routledge handbook of ecological and environmental restoration / edited by Stuart K Allison and Stephen D Murphy Other titles: Handbook of ecological and environmental restoration Description: London ; New York : Routledge, 2017 | Includes bibliographical references and index Identifiers: LCCN 2016047488| ISBN 978-1-138-92212-9 (hbk) | ISBN 978-1-315-68597-7 (ebk) Subjects: LCSH: Restoration ecology Classification: LCC QH541.15.R45 R68 2017 | DDC 333.73/153—dc23 LC record available at https://lccn.loc.gov/2016047488 ISBN: 978-1-138-92212-9 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-315-68597-7 (ebk) Typeset in Bembo by FiSH Books Ltd, Enfield www.allitebooks.com CONTENTS List of contributors Acknowledgements ix xv Introduction: what next for restoration ecology?
