Ecosystem engineering can be defined as any intervention in nature by living organisms to modify and alter a habitat. This book on ecosystem engineering discusses the various methods of interaction between humans and nature and its relation to restoration ecology, preservation and habitat management. The various advancements in ecosystem engineering are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at on detail in this text. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects and recent researches in this field. Students and researchers in the field of biodiversity, wildlife preservation, microbiology and natural habitat management will find this book very useful. This book attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of ecosystem engineering.
