Rapports entre agriculture et écosystèmes

Abstract

It is logical to study the relationships between ecosystems and farming, for farming can be regarded as a particular type of ecosystem since man has stepped in to domesticate it, to change them profoundly and even to create totally artificial ones — agro- systems. This domestication of natural ecosystems has consisted in simplifying them so as to concentrate the productivity of the ecosystem on one chosen plant and maintaining it at a more or less unvarying high level. On the other hand the stability of agro-ecosystems is not as gerat which explains their stability which is marked by less resistance to external accidents or perturbations and also by the need continually to take compensatory measures in order to attain stability, the chief characteristic of ecosystems.
