WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
• Ecosystems• Biotic and abiotic components• Energy and nutrients• Energy transformed from one form to another• When energy is transformed, energy is lost• Sunlight is ultimate source of energy• Food webs link organisms by trophic level

PRIMARY PRODUCTION• Producers capture energy of light• Transform sunlight energy into energy of chemical
bonds in carbohydrates• 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
– For each g of C assimilated, 39 kJ energy stored• Gross primary production = total energy assimilated
by primary producers• Net primary production = energy accumulated (in
stored form) by primary producers• GPP – NPP = Respiration
– Energy consumed by producers for maintenance and biosynthesis

NUTRIENTS STIMULATE PRIMARY PRODUCTION
• Terrestrial production may be nutrient limited– N most common limiting
element• Aquatic systems often
strongly nutrient-limited– Open ocean– Addition of nutrients may
stimulate unwanted production

PRIMARY PRODUCTION VARIES AMONG ECOSYSTEMS
• Maximum under favorable conditions– Intense sunlight– Warm
temperatures– Abundant
precipitation– Nutrients

ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS
• Elton observed predators tended to be larger and less numerous than their prey - described as the ‘pyramid’ of numbers or biomass
• Elton hypothesized that this occurred because predators have to be larger than prey

Energy pyramids can never be inverted, but biomass pyramids can be inverted when lower trophic levels are dominated by palatable and small organisms that turnover rapidly

ENERGY TRANSFER EFFICIENCY
• 10% Efficient between trophic levels• What happens to other 90%
– How is it dispersed?– Is it lost?– Account for it

ONLY 5% TO 20% OF ENERGY PASSES BETWEEN TROPHIC
LEVELS• Energy reaching each trophic level depends on:
– Net primary production (base of food chain)– Efficiencies of transfers between trophic levels
• Plants use 15-70% of light energy assimilated for maintenance
• Herbivores and carnivores expend more energy on maintenance than plants:
- Production of each trophic level is only 5-20% of level below it

FUNDAMENTAL ENERGY RELATIONSHIPS
• Components of an animal’s energy budget are related by:
• Assimilated Energy = Ingested Energy – Egested Energy• Production = Assimilated Energy – (Respiration-Excretion)
![Page 39: ENERGY PATTERNS OF ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? Ecosystems Biotic and abiotic components Energy and nutrients Energy transformed.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e7a5503460f94b7b5fc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ASSIMILATION EFFICIENCY• Assimilation Efficiency = Assimilation/Ingestion• Function of Food Quality:
– SEEDS: 80%– YOUNG VEGETATION: 60-70%– PLANT FOODS OF GRAZERS, BROWSERS:
30-40%– DECAYING WOOD: 15%– ANIMAL FOODS: 60-90%
![Page 40: ENERGY PATTERNS OF ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? Ecosystems Biotic and abiotic components Energy and nutrients Energy transformed.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e7a5503460f94b7b5fc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
NET PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
• Net production efficiency = production/assimilation
• depends on metabolic activity:– birds: <1%– small mammals: <6%– sedentary ectotherms: as much
as 75%
• Gross production efficiency = assimilation efficiency x net production efficiency – = production/ingestion, ranges
from below 1% (birds and mammals) to >30% (aquatic animals).
High rate of metabolism results in
low production efficiencies
![Page 41: ENERGY PATTERNS OF ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? Ecosystems Biotic and abiotic components Energy and nutrients Energy transformed.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e7a5503460f94b7b5fc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
DETRITUS FOOD CHAINS• Ecosystems support two parallel food chains:
– herbivore-based (relatively large animals feed on leaves, fruits, seeds)
– detritus-based (microorganisms and small animals consume dead remains of plants and indigestible excreta of herbivores)
– herbivores consume:• 1.5-2.5% of net primary production in
temperate forests• 12% in old-field habitats• 60-99% in plankton communities

What limits the length of the food chain?
![Page 44: ENERGY PATTERNS OF ENERGY FLOW IN ECOSYSTEMS. WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR? Ecosystems Biotic and abiotic components Energy and nutrients Energy transformed.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032611/56649e7a5503460f94b7b5fc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Food chain length may be limited by:
• Energy constraint hypothesis– Energy is lost with each transfer– Food chain length should be related to productivity– Not supported by research
• Dynamic stability hypothesis– Long food chains easily disrupted– Support is tentative
• Ecosystem size– Species diversity higher

SOME GENERAL RULES• Assimilation efficiency increases at higher
trophic levels.• GPP and NPP efficiencies decrease at higher
trophic levels.• Ecological efficiency ~ 10%.• ~ 1% of NPP ends up as production on the third
trophic level – the energy pyramid narrows quickly.
• To increase human food supplies means eating lower on the food chain!

Food energy available to the human population depends on their trophic level.
