Here we synthesize the current consensus on landscape approaches. This is based on published literature and a consensus-building p...
متن کاملSymmetry Principles and Conservation Laws
Newtonian physics is characterized by the existence of various conservation laws, that is, principles that tell us that however complicated the interactions among the components making up the system, certain quantities never change. Perhaps the most familiar such law is the conservation of the total mass of the system, or “amount of matter” in it: as described in Feynman, §3, we believe that in...
متن کاملEcological agriculture: Principles, practices, and constraints
The practice of ecological agriculture involves building the strengths of natural ecosystems into agroecosystems, purposely disturbed to produce food and fiber. The overall strategies include using practices that (a) grow healthy plants with good defense capabilities, (b) stressing pests, and (c) enhancing populations of beneficial organisms. These are accomplished by enhanced habitat managemen...
