This volume synthesizes two decades of research on the sustainability of temperate, row-crop ecosystems of the Midwestern United States. The overarching hypothesis guiding this work has been that more biologically based management practices could greatly reduce negative impacts while maintaining sufficient productiviLong-Term Ecological Research Network series.Agricultural ecologyMiddle WestCropping systemsMiddle WestElectronic books.Agricultural ecologyCropping systems577.5/5Hamilton Stephen K.Doll Julie E.Robertson G.
