Palatnik, Ruslana Rachel; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D. - 2010
productivity. However, this is not the only channel for climatic change to affect agro-systems. Biodiversity is subject to climatic … fluctuations and in turn may alter land productivity too. Firstly, biodiversity is an input into agro-ecosystems. Secondly …, biodiversity supports the functioning of these systems (e.g. the balancing of the nutrient cycle). Thirdly, agro-systems also host …
