From an agroecological perspective, what are some of the most important relationships between diversity and disturbance in sustain- able agriculture?

From an agroecological perspective, the important relationships between diversity and disturbance in sustainable agriculture involve enhancing resilience to disturbance, the impact of disturbance on agricultural diversity, and managing disturbance for long-term sustainability. Higher diversity increases agroecosystem stability and resilience against disturbances like pests and extreme weather events. Disturbances can influence agricultural diversity either negatively (by reducing diversity) or positively (by providing opportunities for new species). Managing disturbance through practices like agroforestry, integrated pest management, and conservation agriculture helps ensure long-term sustainability and resilience against disturbances.
