"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."--Provided by publisher.

This is the first practical guidebook to give restorationists and would-be restorationists with little or no scientific training or background the "how to" information and knowledge they need to plan and implement ecological restoration activities. The first part of the book introduces the process of ecological restoration in simple, easily understood language through specific examples drawn from the authors' experience in restoring their own lands. The second half shows how that same "thinking" and "doing" can be applied to North America's major ecosystems and landscapes in any condition or scale. No other ecological restoration book leads by example and first-hand experience like this one. It represents a unique and important contribution to the literature on restoration.

fter the Covid-19 pandemic, environmental rebalancing became the vital limit for humans in the third millennium. The inevitable global scenario, where perhaps accidents have crossed, can be looked at from another horizon, as a mosaic of local operations on the environment. The design research by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Cagliari, in concert with the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, and funded by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, configures, with inland areas at its core, a fundamental perspective of the Regional Policies for a carbon-neutral Sardinia in the next 30 years. Dopo la pandemia da Covid-19 il riequilibrio ambientale costituisce il limite vitale per gli uomini del terzo millennio. L'inevitabile scenario globale, dove forse gli incidenti si sono incrociati, può essere guardato da un altro orizzonte, come un mosaico di operazioni locali sull'ambiente. La ricerca progettuale della Facoltà di Ingegneria e Architettura dell'Università degli Studi di Cagliari, di concerto con l'Università delle Arti Applicate di Vienna, e finanziata dalla Regione Autonoma della Sardegna, configura, con fulcro le aree interne, una prospettiva fondamentale delle Politiche Regionali per una Sardegna a CO2 zero nei prossimi trent'anni.

Land Restoration: Reclaiming Landscapes for a Sustainable Future provides a holistic overview of land degradation and restoration in that it addresses the issue of land restoration from the scientific and practical development points of view. Furthermore, the breadth of chapter topics and contributors cover the topic and a wealth of connected issues, such as security, development, and environmental issues. The use of graphics and extensive references to case studies also make the work accessible and encourage it to be used for reference, but also in active field-work planning. Land Restoration: Reclaiming Landscapes for a Sustainable Future brings together practitioners from NGOs, academia, governments, and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) to exchange lessons to enrich the academic understanding of these issues and the solution sets available.
