Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"The Everglades experiments is one of the few synthesis books that could be used by policy makers and scientists to adopt strategies for Everglades restoration. ... The Everglades experiments: lessons for ecosystem restoration is a great resource to scientists and researchers at different universities, and state and federal agencies that are involved in Everglades restoration. It will be useful to students in the ecology and the environmental fields with the Everglades used as a case example." (Samira Daroub, Ecology, Vol. 90 (2), 2009)
