Engineering and Ecosystems

图书简介

This book demonstrates how the inclusion of nature in engineering decisions results in innovative solutions that are economically feasible, ecologically viable, and socially desirable. It advances progress toward nature-positive decisions by protection and restoration of ecosystems and respect for ecological boundaries. The topic of this book is an active area of academic research, and leading companies are including goals associated with ecosystem services in their sustainability plans. This book is the first collection of methods and applications that explicitly include the role of nature in supporting engineering activities and describes the role that ecosystems play in supporting technology and industry. It describes approaches, models, applications, and challenges for innovation and sustainability that will be useful to students and practitioners. Describes methods to account for ecosystem goods and services in sustainability assessment and engineering design; Presents a systematic framework for seeking synergies between technological and ecological systems;Enables convergence between engineering, environmental science, ecology, and economics.
