Ecorestoration for Sustainability

Environmental degradation is causing severe impact over the various Earth ecosystems. Unsustainable development and anthropogenic pressure has altered the natural balance. From this perspective, sustainability has become a major issue to frame a greener and cleaner earth for future generations. It can be argued that the worst example of unsustainable development has is habitat degradation. Therefore, ecorestoration and other ecological practices are becoming increasingly more important in our march toward sustainability. The present book covers all the aspects of ecorestoration and sustainability and how various areas intersect in this space.

Environmental degradation is increasing all over the world at an unprecedented rate. This includes air, water, soil and other natural resources resulting in the depletion of natural resources and an unsustainable planet. Therefore, it is incredibly important to restore the ecosystem health and services in order to maintain homeostasis. In this context, ecorestoration approaches in the form of eco-friendly technologies needs to be formulated to promote protection and conservation of the various ecosystems. These approaches include freshwater bodies, soil and mined out wasteland, degraded forest, biodiversity, and other degraded ecosystems.

This important new volume from Wiley-Scrivener tackles these problems from a practical perspective, offering solutions and new methods for restoring our suffering global ecosystem. Edited by a team of experts, this collaboration of papers on these issues is a further step in our march toward sustainability. Whether for the engineer, scientist, or student, it is a must have for any library.
