Ecology Concepts Ecosystems

Relationships, I Trophic structure / levels~ feeding relationships in an ecosystem Primary producers~ the trophic level that supports all others; autotrophs Primary consumers~ herbivores Secondary and tertiary consumers~ carnivores Detrivores/detritus~ special consumers that derive nutrition from non-living organic matter Food chain~ trophic level food pathway

Relationships, II Food webs~ interconnected feeding relationship in an ecosystem

Energy Flow, I Primary productivity (amount of light energy converted to chemical energy by autotrophs) •Gross (GPP): total energy •Net (NPP): represents the storage of energy available to consumers •Rs: respiration NPP = GPP - Rs Biomass: primary productivity reflected as dry weight of organic material Secondary productivity: the rate at which an ecosystem's consumers convert chemical energy of the food they eat into their own new biomass

Energy Flow, II Ecological efficiency: % of E transferred from one trophic level to the next (5-20%) Pyramid of productivity: multiplicative loss of energy in trophic levels Biomass pyramid: trophic representation of biomass in ecosystems Pyramid of numbers: trophic representation of the number of organisms in an ecosystem

Chemical Cycling Biogeochemical cycles: the various nutrient circuits, which involve both abiotic and biotic components of an ecosystem Water Carbon Nitrogen Phosphorus

Human Impact Biological magnification: trophic process in which retained substances become more concentrated at higher levels Greenhouse effect: warming of planet due to atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide Ozone depletion: effect of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) released into the atmosphere Rainforest destruction Cause: Overpopulation/Overuse ?
