| Summary |
"Combining detailed examples from coastal research studies along the Pacific coast of southern California with information drawn from the literature on coastal restoration across the United States, the Handbook of Restoring Tidal Wetlands fills a void in current restoration ecology literature. The book provides a broad-based compilation of case studies and principles, information that authoritatively guides the management of tidal wetland restoration sites. Thoroughly illustrated with more than 170 figures and tables, the book covers a full range of topics. These topics include the conceptual planning of coastal wetlands restoration; strategies for the manipulation of hydrology and soils; the re-establishment of vegetation and assemblages of fishes and invertebrates; and the process of assessing, monitoring, and sustaining restored wetlands."--BOOK JACKET |
