Agroecological aspects of global change. 330 $aThis book represents an interdisciplinary approach to the relevant aspects of agricultural production related to the interactions between natural processes, human activities and the environment. It provides condensed and comprehensive knowledge on the functions of various agroecosystems at the field, landscape and global scale. Understanding and integrating complex ecological processes into field production, land management and food systems is essential in order to deal with the challenges of modern crop and livestock production. These are characterized by the need for food security for the growing human population on the one hand, and the necessity to combat the detrimental effects of food production on the environment on the other. The book provides the scientific basis required by students and scientists involved in the theoretical and practical development of sustainable agroecosystems and contributes to a range of disciplines including Agriculture, Biology, Geography, Landscape Ecology, Organic Farming, Biological Control, and Global Change Ecology. Specific chapters include: the beginnings and progress of agriculture; abiotic processes and species interactions in agroecosystems; ecology of agricultural soils, weeds, pests and diseases; management and control options; livestock production systems, agroecosystems of the different ecozones of the world; environmental problems including land degradation and effects of land use on biodiversity and ecological cycles; global aspects related to the future of human food production, global climate change and the increasing world population. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aEcology  606 $aEcosystems 606 $aLandscape ecology 606 $aGeography 606 $aGeobiology 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aEcosystems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L1904X 606 $aLandscape Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19058 606 $aGeography, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J00000 606 $aBiogeosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35010 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aEcosystems. 615 0$aLandscape ecology. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aGeobiology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aLandscape Ecology. 615 24$aGeography, general. 615 24$aBiogeosciences. 676 $a577.55 700 $aMartin$b Konrad$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01057760 702 $aSauerborn$b Joachim$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437858003321 996 $aAgroecology$92494426 997 $aUNINA
