What are the effects of agriculture on ecosystem?

Answer 1

Although I believe most agricultural practices cause detrimental effects on our soil some of the exceptions include cover crops like clover and fava beans that are turned into the land. Even organic farming practices if you don't add to the soil causes depletion of minerals used to nurturer the crop. Feeding the soil often replenishes the soil but normally agriculture practices causes depletion of the soil until someday we have desert like in the Nile Delta region of Egypt where there was once lush soil for growing. Aside from the soil growing plant life has a positive effect on the atmosphere adding more oxygen to the air and using up carbon dioxide. Also by controlling the moisture in the soil plants and particularly trees help keep or add water to our underground aquifers. Answer

Answer 2

Pretty much if there is a lot of biodiversity between plants we have more options or chances that one of these plants will have a trait that can resist diseases against plants or pesticides. Then we can genetically engineer or pass down to these good traits to other plants so those plants can resist diseases and pesticides.
