Linking Restoration and Ecological Succession

by Lawrence Walker (Editor), Joe Walker (Editor), Richard J. Hobbs (Editor)

This innovative book integrates practical information from restoration projects around the world with the latest developments in successional theory. It recognizes the critical roles of disturbance ecology, landscape ecology, ecological assembly, invasion biology, ecosystem health, and historical ecology in habitat restoration. It argues that restoration within a successional context will best utilize the lessons from each of these disciplines.

A wonderful book on ecology. Along with ecological success and restoration, it talks about an important concept, climax community - an ecological term used to denote an ecosystem or community of plants, animals and other living organisms that has achieved equilibrium, or become stable.
