Energy flow diagrams often depict secondary production as the flow leaving one trophic level and entering (being ingested by) the next. Many ecologists, however, have demonstrated that secondary ...

Alternatively, production is P = I - F - R. Most energy flow diagrams in textbooks show production flowing from one trophic level into another. In reality, however, production is a growth process ...

Lake ecosystems can receive high inputs of terrestrial organic matter (t-OM) that microbes make available to higher trophic ...

shows the flow of energy. The different stages in the feeding sequence are also referred to as trophic levels. Producers are trophic level 1; primary consumers are trophic level 2 and so on.

Lake ecosystems can receive high inputs of terrestrial organic matter (t-OM) that microbes make available to higher trophic level consumers. A research group examined terrestrial reliance of 19 ...
