Editorial Commentary: The Potential for Network
Approaches to Improve Knowledge,
Understanding, and Prediction of the Structure
and Functioning of Agricultural Systems

Network science has made increasingly important contributions to the

understanding of ecological interactions in complex, multispecies natural
systems, such as food webs and plant–pollinator networks (Ings et al.,
2009; Lafferty et al., 2008; Montoya et al., 2006; Olesen et al., 2010).
Our understanding of the ecological properties that confer stability and resil-
ience to disturbance upon these systems has accelerated by viewing them as
networks of interacting elements. Considerable advances have been made
since the first food web studies were conducted by the pioneers of modern
ecology (e.g. Elton, 1927; May, 1973), with especially marked improve-
ments in both data and models over the last two decades (e.g. Allesina
and Tang, 2012; Cohen et al., 2009; Dunne et al., 2002; McCann et al.,
1998). Previously, the poor quality of data threatened to undermine the
credibility of the approach (Polis, 1991). This more holistic, system-based
approach has had many significant impacts on fundamental ecology, from
its contribution to the complexity–stability debate to providing a means
of linking across different organisational levels and spatial and temporal scales
(Hagen et al., 2012; Kondoh, 2003). It is only far more recently that it has
been adopted by the more applied, ecological sciences (Ings et al., 2009).
The growing prominence of food web approaches is particularly evident
in its influence on the management of human-exploited fish stocks (e.g.
Barnes et al., 2008, 2010; Jennings and Brander, 2010; Jennings et al.,
2002), where it is increasingly being used to underpin the ‘ecosystem
approach to fisheries’ that is now being adopted on a global scale. Network
approaches have not yet had the same level of impact in the sister discipline
of agriculture, however, and addressing this gap is the principal motivation
behind the production of this thematic volume.

xiv David A. Bohan and Guy Woodward

Networks in agricultural ecosystems have been rather neglected,

reflecting the long-held view that these artificial systems are somehow spe-
cial cases that stand apart from mainstream ecology. Indeed, there has been
relatively little exchange of ideas, with agroecology developing to a large
extent as an isolated discipline in its own right, mirroring the situation that
persisted in the relationship between fisheries science and general ecology
throughout much of the twentieth century. Recently, however, there has
been a noticeable change as the field has opened up: studies of networks
of interacting species in agriculture, such as Pocock et al. (2012), are now
not only shining new light on the structure and functioning of
agroecosystems, but also contributing to, and extending, wider ecological
understanding and theory.
The longstanding separation of agroecology of mainstream ecology is sur-
prising, given that early trophic and community ecology (sensu Elton, 1927;
MacArthur, 1955) and more recent metapopulation theory (Levins, 1969)
were originally inspired by agricultural questions, such as how crop monocul-
tures seemed especially prone to pest outbreaks, just as size-structured food
webs were recognised in early fisheries science (e.g. Hardy, 1924) but then
network approaches largely ignored for most of the last century. The work
in this thematic volume demonstrates that agriculture is once again set to drive
forward ecological research in multispecies, interactive systems, and the grow-
ing resurgence of the field is reflected in the current worldwide concern with
maintaining the ecosystem goods and services on which all human societies
depend (Raffaelli and White, 2013), and which are at the heart of agroecol-
ogy. Globally, we will need to produce more sustainable agroecosystems that
are both biodiverse and able to feed the ever-growing human population—
which is projected to exceed 9 billion people by 2050. Agroecosystems
already account for much of the Earth’s surface, with croplands and pasture-
lands covering over 40% of the land area, and this is set to grow rapidly in the
coming decades. It is inevitable that this expansion and encroachment on wil-
derness areas will lead to increased interdisciplinarity in the future, as pressures
mount on both natural and artificial systems and the goods and services they
supply to humanity. This combination of socioeconomic and ecological
imperatives sets the scene for the role agriculture will play in the developing
theory and practice of network ecology.
The apparent dichotomy between the study of agroecosystems and nat-
ural ecosystems is a false premise, as every system on the planet can be placed
on a gradient of artificiality to naturalness, from urban systems at one end to
the remote wilderness of Antarctica at the other, but with few, if any, being
Preface xv

truly pristine given the global reach of human impacts (Bohan et al., 2013).
Typically, agroecosystems are viewed as lying towards the more artificial end
of this gradient, but in reality many exist in, and interdigitate with, natural
and ‘semi-natural’ habitats (Massol and Petit, 2013). For instance, heathland
and moorland are agroecosystems in many parts of the world, as are many
grasslands, although they are often managed with a lighter touch than
industrial-scale, intensively farmed arable monocultures. All support many
more species than the target crop alone, which has been the primary focus
of agricultural research to date, and these ancillary systems are required for
the healthy functioning and service provision of the ecosystem as a whole
(including supporting agricultural yields). Together, these natural, semi-
natural, and cropping systems form a patchwork of interaction networks,
which are themselves connected to one another and to other elements in
the surrounding landscape in a spatial network. It is these attributes that form
much of the focus of this volume.
Network approaches developed in mainstream ecology and other disci-
plines can be readily adapted and applied to agroecosystems, despite some of
their apparently fundamental differences to natural systems, to help under-
stand how local ecological networks (e.g. food webs, plant–pollinator webs,
host–parasitoid webs) are themselves nested as nodes (metawebs) within a
larger spatial network. The chapters in this volume also explore how net-
work approaches can be applied to other aspects of agroecology, including
the decision-making processes in land management, and how eco-
evolutionary dynamics can be used to understand system-level responses
(e.g. the emergence of pesticide resistance) to those choices (Loeuille
et al., 2013).
This volume thus covers a broad canvas, and it embraces methodological
issues as well as introduce new empirical data and models to provide a new
synthesis of the current state-of-play. In fact, the considerable depth and
breadth covered by seven chapters presented here highlight just how rapidly
this nascent field is developing. Across this volume, there are several recur-
rent themes that have emerged from these chapters, which we have
summarised in 10 key points:
1. Agroecosystems have important similarities to, and also differences
from, natural systems, which need to be borne in mind when model-
ling their dynamics.
2. Temporal and spatial dynamics and heterogeneity need to be consid-
ered together, over multiple scales (Loeuille et al., 2013; Massol and
Petit, 2013; Tixier et al., 2013).
xvi David A. Bohan and Guy Woodward

3. Belowground and aboveground networks need to be united, and not

studied in isolation, as has been typical to date; one cannot be fully
understood without knowledge of the other (Mulder et al., 2013).
4. Different types of antagonistic and mutualistic interactions can occur
within the same community—and even within the same species
pairs—and advances in understanding of this diversity of interaction
in agroecology are now driving those in more general ecology, which
has traditionally focused on just one type of interaction network
within a given community (Bohan et al., 2013; Loeuille et al.,
2013; Mulder et al., 2013).
5. Diets are much harder to characterise in agroecosystems than they
are in the highly resolved aquatic food webs that are dominated by
gape-limited, engulfing consumers. Here, new technologies and
techniques such as SIP, metasystematics, machine-learning, and
text-mining are revolutionising how food webs and other networks
can be constructed rapidly and realistically, and these promising
novel approaches seem certain to be adopted in the near future
by mainstream network ecology (Tamaddoni et al., 2013;
Traugott et al., 2013).
6. There is a wide diversity of consumer behaviour and traits in
agroecosystems, from suctorial fluid feeders through to spiders that
use webs as tools to catch larger prey, such that the strength of body
mass allometric constraints may need to be reassessed relative to the
many other systems in which they are particularly powerful structur-
ing forces (Mulder et al., 2013; Tamaddoni et al., 2013).
7. Taxonomic and functional traits are both important determinants of
network structure (Bohan et al., 2013; Mulder et al., 2013;
Tamaddoni et al., 2013).
8. Eco-evolutionary responses can be extremely rapid and profound, due
to the prevalence of powerful artificial selection (e.g. for pesticide
resistance) that accelerates their manifestation (Loeuille et al., 2013).
9. Crop type is a more powerful determinant of network structure than
biogeographical setting, largely because of the biotic homogenisation
that arises from filtering through the same set of constraints and man-
agement practices, which are often applied on a continental to global
scale (Bohan et al., 2013).
10. Land-sharing and land-sparing approaches to management have very
different outcomes for ecological networks across different landscapes,
with compelling evidence that the former is likely to be far more sus-
tainable than the latter in the future (Loeuille et al., 2013).
Preface xvii

Although these points are addressed to varying degrees in the seven chapters
presented here, there is a clear consensus that applying network approaches
to agriculture offer an exciting new way to view and manage these critically
important ecosystems. As we move ever deeper into the Anthropocene, it is
crucial that we understand how agricultural systems determine humanity’s
well-being and ‘safe operating space’ (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,
2005; Rockström et al., 2009). By reconnecting agroecosystems with their
natural counterparts, through improved ecological understanding, we will
gain a better ability to predict how they will respond to future changes,
including global climate change and population growth, but also how to
design novel, sustainable, and intensive agricultural systems that are better
able to meet humanity’s future needs.

Abstract
Worldwide demand for food will increase dramatically in the future as global human
population grows. Increasing efficiency of crop production is unlikely to be sufficient
to meet the demand, presenting a long-term threat to humanity’s ‘well-being’. Knowl-
edge of the system-level behaviour of agroecosystems, however, remains surprisingly
limited, reflecting the agricultural focus on particular species. This is starting to change
towards an ecosystem and network-based approach, following the recent revolution in
thinking about resource use and sustainability in our other global food production
industry: commercial fisheries.
Agroecosystems appear to retain plasticity of ecological processes that might be
manipulated for productivity and sustainability. Network structure and dynamics have
substantial impacts on ecosystem performance, but evidence from agroecosystems lags
behind network theory. Here, we provide an introduction to network theory and appli-
cation in agroecosystems, identify network metrics for management and environmental
change, and, finally, we highlight gaps in our current knowledge and key research
themes. These themes include: is the structure of agroecological networks affected
by sampling; how do ecosystem services ‘emerge’ empirically from ecological organi-
zation, function and network properties; how do spatial and temporal scale and reso-
lution influence system performance; and, can network agroecology be used to design
systems that maximize ecosystem services?

1. INTRODUCTION
Conceptually, agroecosystems have typically been treated as crop
monocultures, with a few associated plant and invertebrate species, residing
in a single field. In reality, though, these systems are far more diverse: a
Networking Agroecology: Integrating the Diversity of Agroecosystem Interactions 3

myriad of ecological interactions occur between individuals in populations,

between species, within and between communities and functional groups,
and across the cropped fields and other natural and semi-natural habitats
in the agricultural landscape, and these produce the emergent structure
and dynamics of agricultural ecosystems (Fig. 1.1). If we are to develop a
predictive, ‘sustainably intensive’ agriculture, which satisfies our future soci-
etal needs, we will need to take account of these interactions because emer-
gent behaviour often associated with complex ecological networks implies
that the performance of the agricultural system is very much more than just
the sum of the individuals parts (Cohen et al., 2009). This will mean broad-
ening the scope of current agroecology research, to include network-based
approaches. We propose, in this chapter, a large-scale, integrative agroecol-
ogy built upon network theory and ecology. As has been seen in other
exploitative ecosystems, such as commercial fisheries, network theory and

Figure 1.1 The traditional simplified view of the relationships between biotic compo-
nents of agroecosystems (A) generally ignores some of the complex feedback loops
(solid and dashed grey lines) and interactions between species that make up more real-
istic agroecosystems (B). Network studies to date have focussed on a narrow set of rela-
tionships, usually between plants, pest arthropods and their natural enemies (shaded
grey on A).

approaches would provide a more holistic, system-based view of natural sys-

tems that could be employed in solving some of the problems that are being
faced in current systems of intensive agriculture, as well as for anticipating
potential future scenarios.

1.1. Current issues in agriculture

The worldwide demand for food will increase for at least the next 40 years
owing to continuing population growth (Godfray et al., 2010). There is
some potential to address the shortfall by reducing waste and altering con-
sumer dietary demands (Godfray et al., 2010; Tscharntke et al., 2012), but
this will not be sufficient. We will therefore need to increase both the
amount and the efficiency of food production. This clear challenge for agri-
culture is also set against global environmental changes and increasing pres-
sure on natural ecosystems, some of which are driven by agriculture itself
(e.g. forest clearance and reduced carbon sequestration capacity). Degrada-
tion of land and ecological processes, in turn, creates potentially dangerous
feedbacks (e.g. desertification; salinization) and presents a long-term threat
to agricultural production, human well-being on local scales and humanity’s
safe operating space on a global scale (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment
2005; Rockström et al., 2009).
Crop yields may be increased through better agronomy (e.g. Mueller
et al., 2012) or improving crop genetics (e.g. Tester and Langridge,
2010), but this comes at the cost of increased risk from pests and disease.
Oerke and Dehne (2004) estimated that in the eight major global crops,
average loss of yield to fungi, bacteria, viruses, animal pests and weeds
totalled 32% between 1996 and 1998; and without pest control, losses would
have been 67%. While the ‘conventional’ management of pests and disease
has benefits for crop yield, it is not without problems; for example, indis-
criminate use of synthetic insecticides can affect non-target organisms and
lead to outbreaks of secondary pests owing to loss of biological control
(e.g. Metcalf, 1980; Newsom, 1967). Technological control measures that
target pests, and leave non-target organisms unharmed, are feasible; such as
the example of genetically modified (GM) cotton producing an insecticidal
protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) that controls lepidopteran pests, like
the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, very effectively in cotton fields
(Lu et al., 2012). In China, the abundance of biological control organisms
in and around the Bt cotton fields was higher than that under the conven-
tional management regime, highlighting that they provide a useful pest
