'This book explores the interface between restoration ecology and ecological restoration. It aims at introducing Masters and PhD students, teachers, researchers and natural-resource managers to interactions between theory and practice. It challenges ecologists to explore the applicability of current theories and concepts, recognizing that these have not been developed with such applications in mind.
The academic foundations of restoration ecology are revisited for this purpose, to pave the way towards a review of the causes of successes and failures and to identify the perspectives of ecological restoration in different ecosystem types. These are dealt with biome-by-biome and considered from the historical perspective of land use. The final section addresses problems of ecological restoration in a societal context - ecological restoration in meant to achieve sustainable, resilient and interconnected ecosystems and socioecological systems. This will result in newly emerging ecosystems.'

'Van Andel and Aronson.Were quite successful in assembling an overview of restoration ecology and ecological restoration at large.'

It is a valuable assessment of work at this exciting interface.' (Tree) 'Restoration ecology has been likened to battlefield medicine. Actions need to be taken even with imperfect scientific knowledge and practical knowledge develops separately from hard scientific research. Restoration Ecology will foster communication and synthesis between those who practice restoration and those who conduct ecological research, praticularly in the battlefields of Europe. It is a valuable assessment of work at this exciting interface.' (Trends in Ecology and Evolution, December 2005) 'I suspect that this volume will find its way onto the shelves of many restoration researchers and practitioners and will be used as a key text in graduate courses, where it will help fill a large void. My own copy is already heavily bookmarked, and will be a constant source of research ideas and lecture material.'
