Principles of ecosystem management
... For example, if a preserve is damage due to a hurricane or fire, should we use science to tidy up the area or let natural processes take care of it? Also, if pollen grains preserved in sediment near a river show the area was a marsh 1000 years ago, should we restore the area to marshland? ...

Restoration ecology
Restoration ecology emerged as a separate field in ecology in the 1980s. It is the scientific study supporting the practice of ecological restoration, which is the practice of renewing and restoring degraded, damaged, or destroyed ecosystems and habitats in the environment by active human intervention and action. The term ""restoration ecology"" is therefore commonly used for the academic study of the process, whereas the term ""ecological restoration"" is commonly used for the actual project or process by restoration practitioners.
