Ecologists will find in this journal the essence of current ecology research across a wide range of disciplines, reflecting recent advances in light of growing evidence regarding global environmental change and destruction. Ecology Abstracts focuses on how organisms of all kinds - microbes, plants, and animals - interact with their environments and with other organisms. Included are relevant papers on evolutionary biology, economics, and systems analysis as they relate to ecosystems or the environment.
With coverage ranging from habitats to food chains, from erosion to land reclamation, the journal provides an important cross-section of current findings in target research areas. Detailed information on resource and ecosystems management and modeling contributes to the journal's practical value, as does material on the impact of climate, water resources, soil, and man or growing environmental problems such as depletion, erosion, and pollution all topics which are covered in depth. Comprehensive, yet carefully focused coverage makes this an essential resource for scientists concerned with preserving the environment.

Abstract
Conversion of natural habitats into agricultural and industrial
landscapes, and ultimately into degraded land, is the major impact
of humans on the natural environment, posing a great threat to
biodiversity. The emerging discipline of restoration ecology provides
a powerful suite of tools for speeding the recovery of degraded
lands. In doing so, restoration ecology provides a crucial complement
to the establishment of nature reserves as a way of increasing
land for the preservation of biodiversity. An integrated understanding
of how human population growth and changes in agricultural practice
interact with natural recovery processes and restoration ecology
provides some hope for the future of the environment. |
