Sustainability means more than just saving energy and resources. It requires integrating the landscapes we design with ecological systems. With Principles of Ecological Landscape Design, Travis Beck gives professionals and students the first book to translate the science of ecology into design practice. This groundbreaking work explains key ecological concepts and their application to the design and management of sustainable landscapes. It covers biogeography and plant selection, assembling plant communities, competition and coexistence, designing ecosystems, materials cycling and soil ecology, plant-animal interactions, biodiversity and stability, disturbance and succession, landscape ecology, and global change. Beck draws on real world cases where professionals have put ecological principles to use in the built landscape. The demand for this information is rising as professional associations like the American Society of Landscape Architects adopt new sustainability guidelines (SITES). But the need goes beyond certifications and rules. For constructed landscapes to perform as we need them to, we must get their underlying ecology right. Principles of Ecological Landscape Design provides the tools to do just that. 606 $aEcology 606 $aLandscape architecture 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aHumanities 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aLandscape Architecture 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aHumanities and Social Sciences 606 $aApplied Ecology 606 $aLandscape Ecology 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aLandscape architecture. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aLandscape Architecture. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aHumanities and Social Sciences. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 676 $a577 700 $aBeck$b Travis$01047245 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437943203321 996 $aPrinciples of ecological landscape design$92474706 997 $aUNINA
