Assembly rules and restoration ecology : bridging the gap between theory and practice /

Annotation An introduction, overview, and synthesis of the potential role of assembly rules theory in restoration ecology. Brings together information and ideas relating to ecosystem assembly in a restoration context, and includes material from a wide geographic range and a variety of perspectives.
