The main difference between agricultural ecosystems and natural ecosystems is their composition and function.
The agricultural ecosystem is formed under human intervention and mainly consists of agricultural land, crops, agricultural animals and human activities. The goal of an agricultural ecosystem is to provide food and other agricultural products to meet human agricultural production needs. Agricultural ecosystems are generally managed and regulated manually, particularly in terms of fertilization, irrigation, pesticide use, etc. The function of the agricultural ecosystem is primarily for the efficiency and stability of agricultural production. Natural ecosystems form in nature and are made up of various living organisms, abiotic factors and the interactions between them. The objective of natural ecosystems is to maintain biodiversity, equiecological free and ecological stability. Natural ecosystems are generally free from human intervention and their composition and functions form naturally. The main function of natural ecosystems is to provide ecological services, such as water source protection, climate regulation, soil conservation, etc.
