Biology>Ecology>Ecosystem>Ecosystem -Structure and Function

This topic discusses the various aspects that are essential for the functioning of the ecosystem. It also explains the ethos of the aquatic ecosystem with an example.

Biology>Ecology>Ecosystem>Productivity in Ecosystem

This topic defines the productivity of an ecosystem. Productivity is the rate of production of biomass. It is expressed as mass per unit surface or volume. It also describes primary and secondary productivity.

Biology>Ecology>Ecosystem>Decomposition

Decomposition is the process of break-down of organic compounds of dead living organisms into simpler compounds. This topic describes the decomposition and includes a diagrammatic representation of the decomposition cycle in a terrestrial ecosystem.

Biology>Ecology>Ecosystem>Flow of Energy

This topic describes the process of energy flow in an ecosystem. Here, it explains the terms producers, primary and secondary consumers and various trophic levels with examples.

Biology>Ecology>Ecosystem>Ecological Pyramids

The production of biomass and energy transfer at each trophic level of an ecosystem is termed as an ecological pyramid. This topic extensively discusses ecological pyramids with examples.
