Agroecology Department
Institution
Section overview
Description
Main research in agroecology is on patterns and mechanisms of biodiversity and ecological functions in agricultural landscapes. This includes the relative importance of local and regional scales as well as bottom-up and top-down effects with respect to the regulation of population size in multitrophic food webs. Such basic ecology is related to the conservation and enhancement of beneficial interactions in agroecosystems.
