Definitions
- Fertile and productive refers to ecological as well as agricultural and otherwise anthropocentric notions of fertility and productivity. Fertility refers to the ecological functioning of the system; its biodiversity, its carbon, water and nutrient cycling efficiency and its capacity to sustain communities in the long term. Productivity refers to the outputs relative to the inputs of the system, both in economic and ecological terms.
- Landscape, in this case, refers to the biophysical environment e.g. a catchment, bioregion, continent.
- Communities refers to both ecological and human communities and the interaction between the two.
