Glossary
- Abiotic factor:
-
A non-living component of the environment, such as soil, nutrients, light, fire, or moisture.
- Adaptation:
-
(1) Any aspect of an organism or its parts that is of value in allowing the organism to withstand the conditions of the environment. (2) The evolutionary process by which a species’ genome and phenotypic characteristics change over time in response to changes in the environment.
- Agroecology:
-
The science of applying ecological concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable agroecosystems.
- Agroecosystem:
-
An agricultural system understood as an ecosystem.
- Agroforestry:
-
The practice of including trees in crop- or animal-production agroecosystems.
- Allelopathy:
-
An interference interaction in which a plant releases into the environment a compound that inhibits or stimulates the growth or development of other plants.
- Beneficial insects – arthropods:
-
Beneficial insects are predators, parasites, or competitors of insect pests, helping to regulate...
