What is an ecosystem, and how can we study
one?
Is the earth an open or closed system with
respect to energy and elements?
How do we define "biogeochemical cycles," and
how are they important to ecosystems?
What are the major controls on ecosystem
function?
What are the major factors responsible for the
differences between ecosystems?

02. AGROECOSYSTEM CONCEPT

The concept of the agroecosystem is
based on ecological principles

A population is a group of individuals of the
same species inhabiting the same area at
the same time.

○ Population size, density, and dispersion
○ Birth and death rates
○ Growth rates

A population is a group of plants, animals, or
other organisms, all of the same species,
that live together and reproduce.
The important of population ecology
1. Numbers of individuals in a population
2. Population dynamics: how and why those
numbers increase or decrease over time
3. Population ecologists try to determine the
processes common to all populations

Communities an assemblage of populations
living together in the same

location at the same time.
The important thing :

Biologists in applied disciplines such as
Forestry
Agronomy (crop science)

Wildlife management

1. Community structure and functioning
2. Community Biodiversity
○ Number and types of species
○ Relative abundance of species
○ Interactions among species

Must manage populations of economic
importance
Prevent threatened or endangered species
from extinction

3. Community Development
○ Community resilience to disturbance
○ Nutrient and energy flow

Ecosystems are
composed of all the
communities and

their physical,
chemical, and
biological
processes.

:
How the interactions of organism affect the
distribution and abundance of the different

The
is the
global sum of all
ecosystems. It can also be
called the zone of life on
Earth. From the broadest
biophysiological point of
view, the biosphere is the
global ecological system
integrating all living beings
and their relationships,
including their interaction
with the elements of the
lithosphere, hydrosphere
and atmosphere

Natural ecosystem is closed, or at least, unmanaged
ecosystem
Closed ecosystem—all elements recycled through ecosystem—
not often pure closed ecosystems anymore—humans frequently
involved

Agroecosystem is an open ecosystem, or managed
ecosystem:
Producer moves plants, animals, environmental factors
(fertilizers, feed) in & out of ecosystem
Will not continue on its own without management
If left alone, would progress toward closed ecosystem, but
probably not the same as original ecosystem before agriculture
without human input again
