This book provides a novel perspective on agroecosystems, summarising our current understanding of the basic and applied aspects of these important and complex habitats, whilst focusing on environmental concerns in the context of global change. The authors accomplished their goal for this book by providing readers with a thorough yet succinct background on agroecosystems, including the biological pressures and issues that must be considered in successful management of these complex systems. The Biology of Agroecosystems would be beneficial to students, land managers, and researchers with an interest in balancing agricultural production and natural resource conservation.
