商品描述

This book provides an overview of the history of this site and the complex effects of the hydrological and ecological changes through the landscape changes, vegetation adaptation, biovector contamination, and ultimately habitat restoration. Big Meadow Bog (Brier Island, Nova Scotia, Canada) is a wetland ecosystem with a history of human disturbance. It was ditched for small-scale blueberry production in the 1950s, which significantly altered the hydrology of the system and resulted in vegetation changes and colonization by 3000+ pairs of herring gulls by the 1980s. It is also host to the endangered plant species Eastern Mountain Avens which was the impetus for restoration of the site. This book provides the background to the restoration decisions, the monitoring and science post-restoration and the lessons learned from the science and through collaboration with government and community.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書概述了該地點的歷史以及水文和生態變化對景觀變遷、植被適應、生物媒介污染，最終棲息地恢復的複雜影響。大草甸沼澤（加拿大新斯科舍省布萊爾島）是一個受到人類干擾的濕地生態系統。它在1950年代被開鑿排水溝以進行小規模藍莓生產，這顯著改變了系統的水文狀況，並導致植被變化以及到1980年代時有超過3000對鯡魚鷗的殖民。這裡也是瀕危植物物種東部山地阿文斯的棲息地，這成為該地點恢復的動力。本書提供了恢復決策的背景、恢復後的監測與科學研究，以及從科學和與政府及社區合作中獲得的經驗教訓。

作者簡介

Nick Hill has studied the autecology of many rare, wetland plants over the past four decades from academia at Mount Saint Vincent University and later from consultancy to help avoid and mitigate impacts of development. He began work on the Eastern Mountain Avens in 2012 and coordinated the four-year benchmark research and restoration project described in this book. He now is a coordinator of a lakeshore restoration project at the Southwest Nova Biosphere Association in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Sarah Hines, M.Sc., is the research manager and Irving Scholar coordinator at the K.C. Irving Centre, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Sarah has been connected to the restoration work on Brier Island since her honours undergraduate project in Acadia's Environmental Science Program. Sarah worked in the biotechnology industry before returning to Acadia.

Nelson O'Driscoll is a tenured full professor and currently head of the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. He is the principal investigator for the Mercury Lab (mercurylab.acadiau.ca). He has previously held a Canada research chair (2007-2017) in Environmental Biogeochemistry at Acadia University. Dr. O'Driscoll has more than 120 peer-reviewed publications. He was the lead editor and co-editor for two previously edited books "Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology of Mercury" published by John Wiley and Sons in 2012 and "Mercury Cycling in a Wetland-Dominated Ecosystem" for SETAC Press in 2005.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Nick Hill 在過去四十年中研究了許多稀有濕地植物的自生生態，最初在聖文森特山大學的學術界，後來轉向顧問工作，以幫助避免和減輕開發的影響。他於2012年開始研究東部山地阿文斯，並協調了本書中描述的為期四年的基準研究和修復項目。他目前是位於新斯科舍省雅茅斯的西南新斯科舍生物圈協會湖岸修復項目的協調員。

Sarah Hines，碩士，現任新斯科舍省雅茅斯阿卡迪亞大學K.C. Irving中心的研究經理和Irving Scholar協調員。自從在阿卡迪亞的環境科學計畫中完成榮譽本科專案以來，Sarah便與布萊爾島的修復工作保持聯繫。Sarah在回到阿卡迪亞之前曾在生物技術產業工作。

Nelson O'Driscoll 是阿卡迪亞大學地球與環境科學系的終身教授，目前擔任系主任。他是汞實驗室（mercurylab.acadiau.ca）的主要研究者。O'Driscoll博士曾於2007年至2017年擔任阿卡迪亞大學環境生物地球化學的加拿大研究主席。他擁有超過120篇的同行評審出版物。他曾擔任兩本先前編輯書籍的主編和共同編輯，分別是2012年由約翰威利與兒子出版的《汞的環境化學與毒理學》和2005年由SETAC Press出版的《濕地主導生態系統中的汞循環》。
