Holistic Management by Allan Savory is the most important book you could read about ecology in 2020. It should be a college and/or accelerated high school textbook in my opinion. You may look at the blurb and say it's not for you or it's not relevant to your interests but buy the fucking thing anyway and read it.
The Farm as Ecosystem by Jerry Brunetti is also an insanely enlightening book, again moreso about agriculture than "ecology" but it's an ecologically regenerative agriculture and it gives huge insight into soil life and everything that lives in and grows from that, aka everything. It's more scientifically dense than a Michael Pollan book by far.
Biomimicry by Janine Benyus is pretty good, it's basically a book about technology from an ecological perspective. There are some chapters about native prairie restoration which are fairly interesting. I'm not as enthusiastic about it as the previous two books.
Grassland by Richard Manning is okay but really not worth reading at all, don't read it unless you've first read Holistic Management.
Imagining Head Smashed-In by Jack Brink isn't necessarily ecology per se but it gives a detailed and accurate picture of what Native American society was like and the environment they lived in.
The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg is literally about electromagnetism so I don't see you actually being interested in it however I see it as being the Silent Spring of the 2020s. The information in it has very severe ecological implications.

This also, a very foundational text for me and an easy read
