Principles of restoration -- The background -- Introduction and philosophy / The ecological context : a landscape perspective / The ecological context : a species population perspective / The evolutionary context : a species perspective / Manipulation of the physical environment -- Terrestrial systems / Wetlands and still waters / Running water : fluvial geomorphology and river restoration / Manipulation of the chemical environment -- Manipulating the chemical environment of the soil / Chemical treatment of water and sediments with special reference to lakes / Atmospheric chemistry / Manipulation of the biota -- Establishment and manipulation of plant populations and communities in terrestrial systems / Ecology and management of plants in aquatic ecosystems / Micro-organisms / Terrestrial invertebrates / Aquatic invertebrates / Fish / Reptiles and amphibians / Birds / Mammals / Monitoring and appraisal -- Monitoring and appraisal / Anthony D. Bradshaw John Cairns Jr. Richard J. Hobbs David W. MacDonald, Thomas P. Moorhouse and Jody W. Enck Alan J. Gray Steve G. Whisenant Jillian C. Labadz, David P. Butcher and Dennis Sinnott Malcolm D. Newson, John Pitlick and David A. Sear Robert H. Marrs Martin Sondergaard, Klaus-Dieter Wolter and Wilhelm Ripl Peter Brimblecombe Anthony J. Davy Stefan F.B. Weisner and John A. Strand Michael F. Allen, David A. Jasper and John C. Zak Jonathan D. Majer, Karl E.C. Brennan and Lubomir Bisevac John S. Richardson and Michael J. Jackson Martin R. Perrow, Mark L. Tomlinson and Luis Zambrano -- Carl G. Jones Jose Maria Cardoso da Silva and Peter D. Vickery David W. MacDonald [and others] Karen D. Holl and John Cairns, Jr. Part 1. 3 -- Rationale for restoration / 10 -- 24 -- 47 -- 66 -- Part 2. 83 -- 106 -- 133 -- Part 3. 155 -- 184 -- 206 -- Part 4. 223 -- 242 -- 257 -- 279 -- 300 -- 355 -- 376 -- 389 -- Part 5. 411.
The two volumes of this handbook provide a comprehensive account of the emerging and vibrant science of the ecological restoration of both habitats and species. Ecological restoration aims to achieve complete structural and functional, self-maintaining biological integrity following disturbance. In practice, any theoretical model is modified by a number of economic, social and ecological constraints. Consequently, material that might be considered as rehabilitation, enhancement, re-construction or re-creation is also included. Principles of Restoration defines the underlying principles of restoration ecology, in relation to manipulations and management of the biological, geophysical and chemical framework. The accompanying volume, Restoration in Practice, provides details of state-of-the-art restoration practice in a range of biomes within terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The Handbook of Ecological Restoration will be an invaluable resource to anyone concerned with the restoration, rehabilitation, enhancement or creation of habitats in aquatic or terrestrial systems, throughout the world.
