Structure and Function in Agroecosystem Design and Management
by Koizumi, Hiroshi Shiyomi, Masae
In this book, biological interactions, matter circulation, and disturbances operating within the agroecosystems in question will be discussed by 31 scientists working in the fields of agricultural science and applied ecology. A major purpose of this book is to clarify the structure and function of individual agroecosystems.

Summary
In this book, biological interactions, matter circulation, and disturbances operating within the agroecosystems in question will be discussed by 31 scientists working in the fields of agricultural science and applied ecology. A major purpose of this book is to clarify the structure and function of individual agroecosystems. Although this book does not attempt to give the entire picture of these agroecosystems, the authors stress the importance of studies to elucidate agroecosystems structure and function. These studies will make it possible to develop alternative types of agriculture in the twenty-first century.
