Conventional solutions to ecosystem loss, such as protected areas and parks, are far too small to make a meaningful difference. Large-scale restoration of damaged ecosystems is essential if climate is to be stabilized. This book covers innovative new technologies for restoring the most productive ecosystems on land while maintaining high biodiversity. This book presents the dramatic results of revolutionary new methods that resolve major factors limiting ecosystem growth, productivity, and capacity to resist severe environmental stresses, while simultaneously increasing global carbon storage and reducing atmospheric CO2.
