Agricultural crops are prominent features of an increasing number
of variously perturbed ecosystems and the landscapes occupied by
these ecosystems. Yet the ecology of agricultural-dominated
landscapes is only now receiving the scientific attention it has
long deserved. This attention has been stimulated by the
realization that all agriculture must become sustainable year after
year while leaving nearby ecosystems unaffected.
Ecology in Agriculture focuses exclusively on the ecology of
agricultural ecosystems. The book is divided into four major
sections. An introduction establishes the unique ties between
agricultural and ecological sciences. The second section describes
the community ecology of these sorts of ecosystems, while the final
section focuses on the processes that operate throughout these
agricultural landscapes.
