Handbook of Ecological and Ecosystem Engineering

<p><b>Learn&nbsp;from this integrated approach to the management and restoration of ecosystems&nbsp;edited by an international leader in the field&nbsp;</b></p> <p>The<i>&nbsp;Handbook of Ecological and Ecosystem Engineering</i>&nbsp;delivers&nbsp;a comprehensive overview of the latest research and practical developments in the rapidly evolving fields of ecological and ecosystem engineering.&nbsp;Beginning with an introduction to the theory and practice of ecological engineering and ecosystem services, the book addresses a wide variety of issues central to the restoration&nbsp;and remediation of ecological environments.&nbsp;</p> <p>The book&nbsp;contains fulsome analyses of the restoration, rehabilitation, conservation, sustainability, reconstruction, remediation, and reclamation of ecosystems using ecological engineering techniques.&nbsp;Case studies are used to highlight practical applications of the theory discussed within.&nbsp;</p> <p>The material in the&nbsp;<i>Handbook of Ecological and Ecosystem Engineering</i>&nbsp;is particularly relevant at a time when the human population is dramatically&nbsp;rising,&nbsp;and the exploitation of natural resources is putting increasing pressure on planetary ecosystems.&nbsp;The book demonstrates how modern scientific ecology can contribute to the greening of the environment through&nbsp;the inclusion of concrete examples of successful applied management. The book also includes:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>A thorough discussion of&nbsp;ecological engineering and ecosystem services&nbsp;theory and practice&nbsp;</li> <li>An exploration of&nbsp;ecological and ecosystem engineering economic and environmental revitalization&nbsp;</li> <li>An examination of the role of soil meso and macrofauna indicators for restoration assessment success in a rehabilitated mine site&nbsp;</li> <li>A treatment of the mitigation of urban environmental issues by applying ecological and ecosystem engineering&nbsp;</li> <li>A discussion of soil fertility restoration theory and practice&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Perfect for&nbsp;academic researchers, industry scientists, and environmental engineers working in the fields of ecological engineering, environmental science, and biotechnology, the&nbsp;<i>Handbook of Ecological and Ecosystem Engineering&nbsp;</i>also belongs on the bookshelves of&nbsp;environmental regulators and consultants, policy makers, and employees of non-governmental organizations working on sustainable development.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
