In this interdisciplinary specialist book, which bridges the gap between the natural and social sciences, both the scientific principles of renaturation ecology and practical aspects of ecosystem renaturation are comprehensively presented. The diversity of land use types with a focus on Central Europe is highlighted and case studies of practical renaturation projects are presented. The textbook offers both students who deal with the environment, scientists and practitioners a profound and up-to-date, but also critical overview of the state of knowledge. This book opens up the broad spectrum of degraded ecosystems of Central European natural and cultural landscapes. In further chapters, marine ecosystems and their renaturation as well as development potentials as well as the limits of renaturation are discussed in more detail. The ecological fundamentals are expanded through an interdisciplinary perspective taking into account environmental ethics, sociology, anthropology and economics.
