	Restoration ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Restoration Ecology is the study of recuperating degraded, damaged or destroyed ecosystems through active human intervention.
		Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, is theoretically rooted in conservation biology.
		In contrast, restoration ecology assumes that environmental degradation and population declines are somewhat reversible processes.

	What is Restoration Ecology? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		restoration ecology - The study of the structure and regeneration of plant and animal communities, aimed at the enlargement of restitution of threatened ecosystems.
		Thus a central characteristic of restoration ecology is that it is synthetic in nature.
		The Society for Ecological Restoration has worked to eliminate the ambiguity of the definition, and it is this definition that is used in peer-reviewed journals and research.

	restoration ecology essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Restoration ecology is devoted to "returning damaged ecosystems to a condition that is structurally and functionally similar to the predisturbance state." (Cairns, 1995) Whether it is a science or not is still debated.
		In 1991, Cairns recognized that "predictive models and testable hypotheses are not common in restoration ecology, which places its scientific status (both "pure" and "applied") in question." When the goal of restoration is the reestablishment of a process not a product, it comes closer to a science.
		In addition to the debate as to whether restoration is an applied or basic science, a number of environmental ethicists are considering whether restoration is a legitmate activity at all.

		Ecological restoration is a science and a discipline based on altering an area of land to emulate or copy a current or former local ecosystem.
		The concept of restoration is simple-choose an ecosystem to emulate and try to recreate it in a chosen area.
		The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) defines it as, “the process of repairing damage caused by humans to the diversity and dynamics of indigenous ecosystems (Jackson 1995).” The first step is to pick an example.
