高草恢复手册：适用于草原、稀树草原和林地
作者：
Stephen Packard;C. Mutel
大草原是北美大陆上退化最严重的生态系统之一，几乎没有原始的草原土地处于原始状态。由于大草原遭受的环境破坏的数量和严重性，大草原已成为生态恢复这一新兴技术的试验场。生态系统的恢复是一门实践科学，几乎没有理论知识来指导实践者的工作。信息主要是通过艰苦的尝试和错误过程获得的，对共享信息的需求是巨大的。因此，《高草恢复手册》是对文献的重要贡献。这本书是一本实践手册，详细介绍了有关草原恢复的艺术和科学以及将这些知识应用于世界各地的恢复项目的知识。章节提供了恢复过程的各个方面的指导，从概念化和规划，执行和监测。章节包括：保护生物多样性恢复稀有植物种群耕作和播种获取和处理种子进行燃烧控制入侵植物动物种群监测植被和更多其他资源包括恢复选项的关键，为特定类型的项目提供详细说明和恢复术语的全面词汇表。这些资料提供了关于草原动植物、种子采集日期、繁殖方法、种子和设备来源等难以找到的数据。“高草恢复手册”是一个国家的最先进的纲要，可以作为一种“零件目录和维修手册”的高草草原和中西部橡树开口的一种至关重要的作用。由那些主要工作实际上是大草原的制作的人撰写，它探讨了无数的恢复哲学和技术，对于任何致力于将我们曾经充满活力的原生景观培育到健康状态的人来说，都是一个必不可少的资源。
Prairies are among the most severely degraded ecosystems on the North American continent, with virtually no original prairie land extant in a pristine state. Because of the amount and severity of environmental damage visited upon them, prairies have become a proving ground for the fledgling craft of ecological restoration.The restoration of ecosystems is a practical science, with little theoretical knowledge available to guide the work of practitioners. Information is acquired primarily through an arduous process of trial and error, and the need for sharing information is immense. "The Tallgrass Restoration Handbook" is thus an essential contribution to the literature.The book is a hands-on manual that provides a detailed account of what has been learned about the art and science of prairie restoration and the application of that knowledge to restoration projects throughout the world. Chapters provide guidance on all aspects of the restoration process, from conceptualization and planning, to execution and monitoring. Chapters cover: conserving biodiversity restoring populations of rare plants plowing and seeding obtaining and processing seeds conducting burns controlling invasive plants animal populations monitoring vegetation and more Other resources include a key to restoration options that provides detailed instructions for specific types of projects and a comprehensive glossary of restoration terms. Appendixes present hard-to-find data on plants and animals of the prairies, seed collection dates, propagation methods, sources of seeds and equipment, and more."The Tallgrass Restoration Handbook" is a state-of-the-art compendium that can serve a vital role as a sort of "parts catalogand repair manual" for the tallgrass prairies and oak openings of the Midwest. Written by those whose primary work is actually the making of prairies, it explores a myriad of restoration philosophies and techniques and is an essential resource for anyone working to nurture our once-vibrant native landscapes to a state of health.
