Plant Conservation The Role of Habitat Restoration Sergei Volis Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing
The rate of species and natural habitat loss across our planet is steadily accelerating. This book argues that existing practises of plant conservation are inadequate and firmly supports the placement of ecological restoration at the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation. The author unifies different aspects of conservation into one coherent concept, including natural area protection, ex situ conservation and in situ interventions through either population management or ecological restoration. Assisted colonization, experimentation, and utilization of threatened plant species are raised as crucial elements in restoration, with partly novel ecosystems being among its major target areas. Covering a wide spectrum of plant conservation examples, and offering practical methodologies alongside the theoretical context, this is a vital resource for students, research scientists and practitioners in conservation biology and restoration ecology. 1. Introduction; 2. The concept major principles; 3. Restoration of threatened species; 4. Restoration of threatened species habitat; 5. Conservation-oriented restoration silvicultural toolkit; 6.

Advance praise: 'Sergei Volis' new book is a valuable contribution, especially in light of the extensive and growing threats to plant diversity worldwide. Building on the work of plant conservationists and restorationists over the past three decades, Volis highlights the role of conservationoriented habitat restoration for the recovery of imperilled plants, including its important links to ex situ, quasi in situ, and in situ approaches to plant population management.'
