Nature-based management aims to improve sustainable agroecosystem production, but its efficacy has been variable. We argue that nature-based agroecosystem management could be significantly improved by explicitly considering and manipulating the underlying networks of species interactions. A network perspective can link species interactions to ecosystem functioning and stability, identify influential species and interactions, and suggest optimal management approaches. Recent advances in predicting the network roles of species from their functional traits could allow direct manipulation of network architecture through additions or removals of species with targeted traits. Combined with improved understanding of the structure and dynamics of networks across spatial and temporal scales and interaction types, including social-ecological, applying these tools to nature-based management can contribute to sustainable agroecosystems.
基于自然的管理旨在提高可持续农业生态系统的生产力，但它的效果一直存在差异。我们认为，通过明确考虑和操纵物种相互作用的基础网络，基于自然的农业生态系统管理可以得到显著改善。网络视角可以将物种相互作用与生态系统功能和稳定性联系起来，确定有影响力的物种和相互作用，并提出最佳管理方法。从功能特征预测物种网络角色的最新进展，可以通过添加或去除具有目标特征的物种来直接操纵网络结构。结合对不同空间和时间尺度以及包括社会生态系统在内的各种相互作用类型的网络结构和动态的理解，应用这些工具进行基于自然的管理可以有助于可持续的农业生态系统。
