Synopsis
This volume provides the first comprehensive summary of how plant, animal, and microbial communities develop under the harsh conditions following dramatic natural disturbances. The authors examine the basic principles that determine ecosystem development and apply the general rules to the urgent practical need for promoting the reclamation of damaged lands. Written for ecologists concerned with disturbance, landscape dynamics, restoration, life histories, invasions, modeling, soil formation and community or population dynamics, this book also serves as an authoritative text for graduate students and as a valuable reference for professionals involved in land management.

Book Description
The first comprehensive summary of how plant, animal and microbial communities develop following dramatic natural and human-induced disturbances that leave little or no biological legacy. Examining the basic principles that determine ecosystem development, the authors link ecological theory to practical management issues and stress the urgency for reclamation of damaged lands. Written for ecologists concerned with disturbance, landscape dynamics, restoration, life histories, invasions, modeling, soil formation and community or population dynamics, it will serve as a valuable reference for professionals and an authoritative text for graduate students.
