Ecology of Agriculture
A course for PhD students interested in exploring ecological processes
in agricultural production systems and how they relate to agronomic
practices. A brief introduction into relevant ecology concepts, will be
followed by special focus on ecosystem processes that influence crop
production level and stability (e.g., nutrient cycling, pollination,
herbivory, predation), and the biodiversity that drives these processes
above and below ground, and how these shape crop yield. It will further
be discussed how ecological principles can be employed in the
development of crop production systems to improve efficiency and
sustainability of agriculture.
5 ECTS
September 7-11 (preparatory part) and September 14-18 (retreat workshop
at Ekenäs herrgård)
Apply no later than July 1, 2020 by sending an e-mail to the course
organizer Riccardo Bommarco (riccardo.bommarco@slu.se).
