• Abstract:

  This literature review analyzes the differences and similarities between temperate and tropical agroecosystems. The first parts address systems theory and the components of systems in order to understand the concept of ecosystem, from which the concept of agroecosystem originates. The second part addresses the concept of agroecosystem in its entirety, its subsystems and its limits, as well as the concepts of sustainability and sustainability to understand the functioning and management of agroecosystems. Finally, the characteristics, history, evolution, crops, and different management practices of agroecosystems in tropical and temperate regions are analyzed. In addition, a comparison of both types of agroecosystems was made to understand their similarities and differences within the framework of agroecosystems, their subsystems, and their limits.
