The capacity of a given natural ecosystem to provide certain goods and services that satisfy human needs depends on its environmental characteristics (natural processes and components). It was described the availability of these goods and services (environmental functions) controlled and sustained by ecological processes operating in Ecological Station of Jataí (Luiz Antônio, SP). The environme...

Interdisciplinary research efforts to integrate the ecological aspects of water with its physical and societal roles have a long history as well as some interesting new developments. Small, paired, experimental watersheds, with their long-term monitoring systems for data collection and their integrated ecosystem approach to analysis, have been at the center of recent advances. A study now under...

Although there is increasing interest in the effects of habitat disturbance on community attributes and the potential consequences for ecosystem functioning, objective approaches linking biodiversity loss to functional loss are uncommon. The objectives of this study were to implement simultaneous assessment of community attributes (richness, abundance and biomass, each calculated for total-beet...

Crop diseases, pest infestations, water shortages, weed and other issues affect the agriculture sector. Due to existing agricultural techniques, these result in significant crop loss, economic severe environmental hazards. Because is such a dynamic industry, robotics cannot solve all of its difficulties; instead, single solution specific complex problem supplied. To assist with provide better a...

The development of industrialization has overwhelmed an ecological environment damaged by the modern agricultural method. a circular economy, which focuses on green while balancing production capacity, led to emergence ecoagriculture. This study examines impact concept farmers’ income, using practice ecoagriculture in Guangdong province, China, as example. uses entropy method verify whether adv...

Objective: Today, addressing the issue of sustainability especially in agriculture has received more attention. Sustainability in the systems of Canola cultivation depends on many factors like ecological, social and economic dimensions and understanding these factors can result in formulation of policies and strategies for sustainable agricultural development. Methods: 8961 Canola farmers of Qa...

Because ecosystems throughout the globe are contaminated with pesticides, there is a need to understand how natural populations cope with pesticides and the implications for ecological interactions. From an evolutionary perspective, there is evidence that pesticide tolerance can be achieved via two mechanisms: selection for constitutive tolerance over multiple generations or by inducing toleran...
