Rezensionen

"Updates from the first edition, published in 2012, include a diversification of perspectives and case studies, an in-depth assessment of the new restoration standards published by the Society for Ecological Restoration in 2019, and a revision of future projections for the field. Overall, this work is a meta-view of ecological restoration, throughout asking why we restore and highlighting the role of human choices in restoration. Students of restoration ecology and conservation biology, restoration practitioners, and those interested in human relationships with land would all be well served to engage with this work." Rebecca Tonietto in Restoration Ecology, Vol. 32, Issue 4
