Dispersal, Establishment, and The Ecological Niche

The Agroecosystem must be viewed as a collection of interacting population of many kinds of organisms, including crop and noncrop species, plants and animals and microorganisms

Agroecosystem is made up of complex interaction between many populations of organisms, an agroecological approach requires a broader analysis

Density Independent Mortality

% mortality is not related to host density

Density dependent mortality

As host population increases, % mortality increases related relationship
