Description

Today, there’s a growing demand for designed landscapes—from public parks to backyards—to be no longer best beautiful and functional, but in addition sustainable. With Principles of Ecological Landscape Design, Travis Beck gives professionals and students the primary book to translate the science of ecology into design practice. 

This groundbreaking work explains key ecological concepts and their application to the design and management of sustainable landscapes. It covers topics from biogeography and plant selection to global change. Beck draws on real world cases where professionals have put ecological principles to make use of within the built landscape.


For constructed landscapes to accomplish as we’d like them to, we should get their underlying ecology right. Principles of Ecological Landscape Design provides the tools to do just that.
