I: Basic Ecological Concepts in Agroecosystems.- Part II:
Agroecosystem Design and Management.- Index. ***LANGTEXT*** This
book provides an introduction to research approaches in the
emerging interdisciplinary field of agroecology. It demonstrates in
a series of international case studies how to combine the more
production-oriented focus of the agronomist with the more
systems-oriented viewpoint of the ecologist. Different
methodologies for quantifying and evaluating agroecosystem
sustainability are presented and analyzed. Leading researchers in
the field provide examples of the diversity and complexity of
agroecological research, ranging from archeology to insect ecology,
and examine design and management of agroecosystems that span from
the humid tropics to temperate regions. This timely overview will
be of great value to ecologists, agronomists, geographers,
foresters, anthropologists, and others involved in developing a
sustainable basis for land use, management, and conservation
worldwide. ***RS-ENDE*** RS 11/89 PREX ***RS-NOTIZEN*** NY/Dr.
