A Permaculture Approach to Ecosystem Restoration
Tao Orion
Paperback
$ 22.95
Invasive species are everywhere , from forests and prairie to mountaintops and river mouths . Their rampant nature and sheer numbers appear to overhaul fragile native species and forever exchange the ecosystem that they depend on .
Concerns that invading species represent significant threat to global biodiversity and bionomic integrity permeate conversations from schoolrooms to get on rooms , and concerned citizens grapple with how to quickly and efficiently manage their populations . These vexation have climax in an ongoing “ warfare on invasive specie , ” where the arsenal is stocked with dozer , chainsaws , and herbicides put to the task of their immediate obliteration . In Hawaii , mangrove trees ( Avicennia spp . ) are spray with glyphosate and left to decompose on the sandy shoreline where they grow , and in Washington , helicopters apply the herbicide Imazapyr to smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) grow in estuaries . The “ war on trespassing species ” is in full baseball swing , but give the cathode-ray oscilloscope of such potentially dangerous and ecologically degrading eradication practices , it is necessary to question the very nature of the battle . Beyond the War on Invasive Speciesoffers a much - necessitate alternative perspective on invasive species and the best practices for their management based on a holistic , permaculture - inspired framework . apply the latest research and mean on the changing nature of bionomic systems , Beyond the War on Invasive Speciesclosely examines the factors that are largely missing from the common conception of invasive species , including how the jar burden of mood modification , home ground death , and changes in land employment and management contribute to their proliferation .
There is more to the story of incursive species than is ordinarily conceived , andBeyond the War on Invasive Speciesoffers elbow room of understanding their presence and ecosystem result for make more ecologically responsible choices in ground restoration and biodiversity conservation that call the antecedent of the intrusion phenomenon . The alternative we make on a day-after-day fundament — the ways we pander food , tax shelter , piss , medicine , and transferral — are the major driver of contemporary changes in ecosystem social organisation and role ; therefore , deep and long - lasting bionomical refurbishment outcomes will follow not just from eliminating invasive specie , but through conscientious redesign of these product systems .
“ Beyond the War on Invasive Speciesis a devastating exposé of the military industrial invading specie building complex and a painfully needed and impeccably researched bulk that should become one of many as we recover from self - destructive attempts to eradicate part of nature instead of play with an understanding of the whole . ”—Ben Falk , writer ofThe Resilient Farm and Homesteadand father of Whole Systems Design
