Document Summary
Ecosystem ecology: ecosystem ecology involves the whole habitat and the species within it, abiotic and biotic factors, while community ecology only involves the interactions between species, explain why nutrients cycle within ecosystems but energy flows through them. Using those ideas, explain the consequences if an ecosystem stopped receiving solar energy. If an ecosystem stopped receiving solar energy, primary producers will stop producing oxygen and stop synthesis organic compounds which will lead to the death of plants and the consumers that follow after. c. c. i. There will be no nutrients to be cycled through because the beginning of the cycle has been stopped d. If an ecosystem stopped receiving solar energy, primary producers won"t be able to transfer the solar energy into chemical energy and then not be able to flow through the ecosystem d. i. Know what proportion of the energy at each trophic level is transferred to the next level up.
