"We know that investments in restoring ecological systems bring significant returns, enhancing the capacity of communities to adapt to climate change and improve food security, and leading to more effective efforts to alleviate poverty and protect the natural assets upon which economic growth depends. Clewell and Aronson have provided an unrivaled guidebook that enables readers to understand the science of ecological restoration, how it developed, and what to expect from this vitally important discipline in the future."
