Ecologically-sensitive building and landscape design isa broad, intrinsically interdisciplinary field. Existingbooks independently cover narrow aspects of ecological design indepth (hydrology, ecosystems, soils, flora and fauna, etc.), butnone of these books can boast of the integrated approach taken bythis one. Drawing on the experience of the authors, this bookbegins to define explicit design methods for integratingconsideration of ecosystem processes and services into every facetof land use design, management, and policy. The approach isto provide a prescriptive approach to ecosystem design based uponecological engineering principles and practices. This bookwill include a novel collection of design methods for the non-builtand built environments, linking landscape design explicitly toecosystem services.
