Publisher's Synopsis
This manual offers step-by-step guidance for laboratory and field investigations in agroecology. Twenty-four topics are investigated in sections covering environmental factors, population dynamics in soil systems, interspecific interactions in cropping, farm and field systems, and food system guides. This is a supplement to the textbook "Agroecology: Ecological Principles in Sustainable Agriculture", and can also stand alone as a reference for anyone working in ecology and agriculture.
