Today, there
is a growing demand for designed landscapesfrom public parks to backyardsto be
not only beautiful and functional, but also sustainable. Sustainability means
more than just saving energy and resources. It requires integrating the
landscapes we design with ecological systems. With Principles of Ecological
Landscape Design, Travis Beck gives professionals and students the first
book to translate the science of ecology into design practice.
This
groundbreaking work explains key ecological concepts and their application to
the design and management of sustainable landscapes. It covers biogeography and
plant selection, assembling plant communities, competition and coexistence,
designing ecosystems, materials cycling and soil ecology, plant-animal
interactions, biodiversity and stability, disturbance and succession, landscape
ecology, and global change. Beck draws on real world cases where professionals
have put ecological principles to use in the built landscape.
The
demand for this information is rising as professional associations like the
American Society of Landscape Architects adopt new sustainability guidelines
(SITES). But the need goes beyond certifications and rules. For constructed
landscapes to perform as we need them to, we must get their underlying ecology
right. Principles of Ecological Landscape Design provides the tools to do
just that.
