This book explores the ecological concepts and ideas involved in the practice of habitat restoration by taking a theoretical approach that will appeal to ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The contributors examine aspects of this new realization and its implications for both ecology and the practice of habitat restoration. What emerges is the outline of a new paradigm for ecological research and the basis for a stronger relationship between theory and practice in this area. "By casting familiar questions in a different light and covering a wide variety of issues and environments, Restoration Ecology merits the attention of a broad spectrum of practicing ecologists...."
