Reviews

In their foreword to Tidal Marsh Restoration , Hood and Simenstad observe that restoration scientists and managers are physicians for dysfunctional ecosystems. To make the analogy more specific, Roman and Burdick's book is a bible for 'ecosystem cardiologists': If the circulatory system of the salt marsh is not functioning, then nothing else matters. This is a must-read book for those interested in wetlands 'vascularization' and its consequences. <br> --Jack Gallagher Professor Emeritus, Halophyte Solutions Laboratory, University of Delaware (10/31/2012)
