• All farming systems, from rainfed to irrigated, are embedded in a landscape that has an inherent capacity to provide a range of ecosystem services with various functions. By managing these landscapes for agricultural production, different ecosystem services may take precedence over others. These human-made shifts in agricultural landscapes put emphasis on particular ecosystem services, and this emphasis may alter the natural balances of ecosystems and linkages to adjacent ecosystems at lower or higher spatial scales. The emphasis in agricultural landscapes is usually on the provisioning ecosystem services, in particular increased biomass from certain crops or produce from livestock.
