Abstract: | This paper is concerned with landscape ecology and its relevánce for both agriculture and the relation of agro-ecosystems to the total landscape. The term “landscape ecology” is not commonly used in agriculture, although subordinate concepts are often used, for example, the principle of soil and land suitability for agricultural development, the spatial arrangement of agricultural land and the processes operating within the landscape of agro-ecosystems. Giving more importance to landscape ecological aspects in agro-ecosystems could lead to better environmental management. |
