You just have a regular running stream, because there is no dam, so the ecosystem would be completely different, there would be fewer wetlands.

（这里）只有一条有规律的溪流，因为没有水坝，所以生态系统会完全不同，湿地会更少。

The ecologist is concerned primarily with the quantities of matter and energy that pass through a given ecosystem, and with the rates at which they do so.

生态学家主要关注的是流经某一生态系统的物质和能量的量以及它们的速度。

Agriculture takes place in nature, among ecosystems of interacting organisms and activity, and crop production takes place within that ecosystem environment.

农业是在大自然中进行的；大自然里的生态系统中各种生物和活动相互影响，而粮食的生产正是处在这样的生态环境中。
