Soils and Landscape Restoration provides a multidisciplinary synthesis on the sustainable management and restoration of soils in various landscapes. The book presents applicable knowledge of above- and below-ground interactions and biome specific realizations along with in-depth investigations of particular soil degradation pathways. It focuses on severely degraded soils (e.g., eroded, salinized, mined) as well as the restoration of wetlands, grasslands and forests. The book addresses the need to bring together current perspectives on land degradation and restoration in soil science and restoration ecology to better incorporate soil-based information when restoration plans are formulated. Incudes a chapter on climate change and novel ecosystems, thus collating the perspective of soil scientists and ecologists on this consequential and controversial topic Connects science to international policy and practice Includes summaries at the end of each chapter to elucidate principles and key points

Humans have influenced the landscapes and forests throughout the temperate and boreal zones for millennia. Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests, Second Edition focuses on the negative impact of human activity, and explains the importance of forest restoration as a way to repair habitat, restore forest structure and function, and counteract the lasting effects of humanity. The book offers broad geographic coverage, as well as a combination of review and case study chapters providing social and policy contexts for restoration of specific forest types.This revised edition begins with a historical context for restoration, provides a conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between degradation and restoration, and defines terms within that framework. While building on the first edition, it presents the response of restorationists to the current challenges of interpreting scattered science on forest history, stand development, and natural processes. It combines applicable experience designed to improve present and future ecological and social sustainability.Describes restoration in the context of rapid social, economic, environmental, and climate changeLooks toward the future, presenting several completely new topics in forest restorationCovers different starting points for restoration, from non-forest to degraded forest Restoration of Boreal and Temperate Forests, Second Editionaids in the understanding of the diverse cultural and ecological contexts for restoration of temperate and boreal forests, and the creation of a better foundation of documented knowledge to support future and existing restoration decisions.

Please note that this book is available as an Open Access title via Science Direct.Guidelines for Climate Adaptive Forest Restoration and Reforestation Projects addresses a critical problem in the field of forestry: how to manage the need of targeted seedlings for planting projects under climate change. Edited by experts in the field, this necessary guide focuses on the production and deployment of climate-adapted species and material that is essential for successful regeneration and restoration. It is an ideal resource for students of ecology, forest managers, and practitioners who contribute to the well-being of forest ecosystems.As forestry professionals often grapple with the complexities of climate impacts and the need to adapt forest management practices to the changing climate while preserving biodiversity and maintaining sustainable ecosystems, this is a welcomed resource.Provides guidance on the selection of tree species and production of quality seedlings for restoring and reforesting resilient forests in a changing environmentOffers an unparalleled compendium of species-specific best practices for growing forest reproductive material for focal site conditionsIntroduces a groundbreaking initiative by defining a common terminology for forest restoration and reforestationProbes deeply into the most effective practices for establishing forests, including post-planting protection and silviculture techniques
