Abstract

A brief and comprehensive introduction to restoration ecology is given. After a short sketch of the history of this subdiscipline of ecology, concepts, general objectives, reference systems, and a definition of ecosystem restoration are presented. Since ecosystem restoration is based on ecological key concepts such as e.g., species pool, functional groups, succession, stress, disturbance, and ecosystem functions, it might be an “acid test” for ecology. General objectives could be the restoration of natural ecosystems, traditional and diverse land-use systems, and “novel” ecosystems without a reference in the natural or traditional cultural landscape. By giving an overview on measures, the practice of ecosystem restoration is addressed. An emphasis is put on the transdisciplinary peculiarities of restoration ecology and ecosystem restoration, bridging the natural and the social sciences.
