农业环境生态学是用生态学和系统论的原理和方法,将农业生物与其自然环境作为一个整体,研究其中的相互作用、协同演变,以及社会经济环境对其调节控制规律,促进农业全面持续发展的学科。农业环境生态学的任务不仅是阐述农业环境生态原理，而且要面对现实，提出协调各种关系和推动农业可持续发展的各种可行方案。 本课程在从整体认识生态学、生态系统的基础上，以农业生态系统为研究对象，讲述了生态系统中生物个体、种群、群落等不同层次生命体系的生态学规律，及其在农业生态系统调控中的应用；介绍了农业生态系统的结构、功能、调控及理论应用。在全面介绍农业环境生态学基本内容的同时，还及时反映了农业环境生态学学科前沿的最新成果及发展动态，内容涉及农业生态系统管理、农业生态规划、农业生态环境修复、生物多样性、生态农业、生态旅游、农业可持续发展等。 通过学习本课程，使学生掌握农业环境生态学基本原理及农业生态系统研究与分析的方法和手段；树立现代农业的系统观、生态观和可持续发展观，提高分析问题和解决问题的能力；有助于学生在现有的相关生物学科知识基础上，综合运用农业生态学原理，统观农业全局和开拓现代农业研究与应用的思路。

Agricultural Enviroment Ecology regards agricultural living organisms and their environment as a whole ecosystem. It studies the functions, synergy in evolution, regulations and managements of agricultural ecosystem by the principles and methods of ecology and systemic theories. The aim is to develop more comprehensive and sustainable agriculture. The task of Agricultural Enviroment Ecology is not only expounding the principles of agricultural enviroment ecology but also facing the praxis and putting forward various feasible projects to harmonize all kinds of relations and to promote the sustainable development of agriculture. This course takes agroecosystem as the object of studying. It narrates the ecological rules of different life systems in ecosystem such as individual organism, population and community as well as the application in agroecosystem regulation in the base of holistic knowledge about ecology and ecosystem. It also introduces the structure, functions, regulation and application of agroecosystem. Besides introducing the basic content of Agricultural Enviroment Ecology, the course also reflects the last production and development of the advanced subject, including management, programming, bioremediation, biodiversity, ecological agriculture, ecotourism, the sustainable development of agriculture etc. Through the learning of this course, students will master the basic principles and methods of Agricultural Enviroment Ecology, set up the view of systemic, ecological and sustainable development about modern agriculture, and increase their abilities of analyzing and solving problems. It is also helpful for the students to form a whole view of agriculture and exploit the new methods by applying agricultural enviroment ecological principles synthetically at the base of relevant biological subjects.
