摘要: Intrusive agriculture development, searching for higher profitability, has inflicted permanent damage to agroecosystems. Rapid deterioration of structure and functional properties in agroecosystems intensified the need research on agroecosystem health management. This paper describes concept which plays an important conceptual role evaluating agricultural research. Firstly, development is reviewed, from various dimensions provided. Then, methods general criterias assessment are outlined, a model established. Finally, pathways management holistic dimension proposed promote provide scientific basis making science-based policy decisions formulating new plans development.
