Within that framework similar ecosystem modules become assembled very rapidly with native and non-native species, a consistency that reflects deep ecological principles at both local and landscape levels. Here we describe three such modules: trophic levels and food webs, natural enemies in space and time, and trait-mediated trophic cascades and the accumulation of non-linearities. We propose that diverse agroecosystems are bound to contain such modularities and therefore have similar ecological structures as natural systems in spite of their novelty. We use examples from the coffee agroecosystem in Mexico to illustrate these modules.
