Using sound ecological principles, the author describes how these ecosystems are stabilised and directed toward realistic management objectives using natural recovery processes rather than expensive subsidies. An initial emphasis on repairing water and nutrient cycles, and increasing energy capture, will initiate and direct positive feedback repair systems that drive continuing autogenic recovery. This strategy is most appropriate where landuse goals call for low-input, sustainable vegetation managed for biological diversity, livestock production, timber production, wildlife habitat, watershed management, or ecosystem services. Providing a comprehensive strategy for the ecological restoration of any wildland ecosystem, this is an invaluable resource for professionals working in the fields of ecological restoration, conservation biology and rangeland management.Biological conservation, restoration, and sustainability ;1.Restoration ecologyConservation biologyRange managementRestoration ecology.Conservation biology.Range management.333.7/153Whisenant Steven G(Steven Gerald),1950-1466225UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910779922803321Repairing damaged wildlands3676597UNINA
