The significance of agroecology in water and soil protection

Abstract

The ecosystem is the central object of the study of ecology, while the central object of the study of agroecology is the agroecosystem. Agroecology applies ecological principles in the management of sustainable agroecosystems. Within the agroecosystem, it is very important to know the effect of ecological factors on the members of living communities, especially cultivated plants and soil microorganisms, because the productivity of the agroecosystem depends on them, the possibility of sustainable management of agroecosystems, as well as the protection of all environmental components, especially the water and soil.

Ekosistem je centralni objekat proučavanja ekologije, dok je centralni objekat proučavanja agroekologije agroekosistem. Agroekologija primenjuje ekološke principe u upravljanju održivim agroekosistemima. Unutar agroekosistema, veoma je značajno poznavati dejstvo ekoloških faktora na članove životnih zajednica, naročito gajene biljke i mikroorganizme zemljišta, jer od njih zavisi produktivnost agroekosistema, mogućnost održivog upravljanja agroekosistemima, kao i zaštita svih komponenti životne sredine, a naročito vode i zemljišta.
