Pathways of assessing agroecosystem health and agroecosystem management
Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2012Intrusive agriculture development, searching for higher profitability, has inflicted permanent damage to agroecosystems. Rapid deterioration of structure and functional properties in agroecosystems has intensified the need for research on agroecosystem health and agroecosystem management.

Allelopathy in Agroecosystems: An Overview
Journal of Crop Production, 2001Summary Allelopathy plays an important role in the agroecosys-tems leading to a wide array of interactions between crop-crop, crop-weed and tree-crops. Generally, these interactions are harmful to the receiver plants but provide a selective benefit to the donor.

From `ecopathology' to `agroecosystem health'
Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 1999The 'epidemiologic revolution' of the 1960s arose in response to the inability of reductionist methods to provide practical solutions to the complex problems of health and production in livestock systems. In a farm, there are not only interactions between animal factors and herd husbandry factors such as feeding, housing, and microbiological ...

Developing Sustainable Agroecosystems
BioScience, 1983Since its beginning, agriculture has tested the resiliency of nature. Natural communities have been replaced with artificially supported, productive communities. Agriculture's objectives generally have been to achieve maximum yields, operate with a maximum profit, minimize year-to-year instability in production, and prevent long-term degradation of the

Managing Sulphur in Agroecosystems
2003This chapter discusses the global biogeochemical sulphur (S) cycle and S pool, the role of nutrient management, in general, and of S management, in particular, in achieving agronomic and environmental objectives. Understanding the biogeochemical cycling of S is of crucial importance for S management in agroecosystems.
