Question
Ecosystems rely upon the trophic structure for adequate energy flow. Differences in the types and numbers of organisms and variability within climates across different ecosystems will impact the trophic level structure. The ecosystem pyramid expresses the relationship between organism population numbers and efficiency of energy flow.
Select two different ecosystems and discuss the energy levels found within the ecosystem. Include in your discussion examples of organisms within the ecosystem that are considered to be decomposers, producers and consumers. Discuss the importance of energy flow balance to ecosystem survival and longevity. Please remember to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.
