Abstract

The study provides methodological approaches to the analysis of the functioning of agricultural ecosystems in the context of anthropogenic environmental changes, based on the assessment of rationalization and efficient use of natural capital through energy consumption for the production of final products, and describes the agricultural ecosystem operating on the principles of market economy. A set of general methodological principles for analyzing the functioning of an agricultural ecosystem has been proposed. An algorithm for achieving optimal ecological and economic parameters of the functioning of the components of the agricultural ecosystem is presented, including a set of step-by-step actions, as well as multi-functional dependences of the reproductive capabilities of the main components of the agricultural ecosystem. A complex of ecological and economic parameters of the reproductive process of the agricultural ecosystem, used for its optimization, has been developed. The interpretation of terms and concepts, generalized in the course of the research within the framework of the presented approach, is carried out. A new principle of agricultural ecosystem organization is highlighted, considering it as a social, ecological and economic system.

Highlights

  • Intensification of human production activity, causing an increase in technogenic pressure on agricultural ecosystems, leads to a disruption of biological equilibrium, which manifests itself in a significant depletion of agrocenoses due to the death of useful microflora components, disorganization of microbiological processes in soil biota, production of phytotaxic elements, an increase in soil fatigue rates, transformation of the nature of infection plants, negative transformations in the immune status of cultivated plants

  • This study outlines methodological approaches to the analysis of the functioning of agricultural ecosystems in the context of anthropogenic environmental changes and provides a description of the agricultural ecosystem operating on the principles of market economy

  • Within the framework of the presented approach, it becomes necessary to interpret the applied terminology and concepts generalized in the course of the study, including the functional stability of the agricultural ecosystem, the complex of ecological and economic parameters of the reproductive process of the agricultural ecosystem, the invariant of the structure of the agricultural ecosystem, the conceptual and operational closure of the agricultural ecosystem, self-organization and self-regulation of the agricultural ecosystem of development of the attractive goal of the agricultural ecosystem

Summary

Introduction

Intensification of human production activity, causing an increase in technogenic pressure on agricultural ecosystems, leads to a disruption of biological equilibrium, which manifests itself in a significant depletion of agrocenoses due to the death of useful microflora components, disorganization of microbiological processes in soil biota, production of phytotaxic elements, an increase in soil fatigue rates, transformation of the nature of infection plants, negative transformations in the immune status of cultivated plants. The thesis put forward actualizes the research devoted to the formation of methodological approaches to the analysis of the functioning of agricultural ecosystems in the conditions of anthropogenic changes in the environment and the identification of functional relationships of the structural components of agricultural ecosystems with substantiation of the optimal parameters of their functioning. The solution of the tasks set will provide the requested level of environmental and economic efficiency, taking into account the limits of technogenic impacts on agricultural ecosystems, and will create conditions for their functional sustainability, as well as develop approaches to managing the agricultural ecosystem as an integral self-organizing structure functioning under the principle of operational closed condition
