  • Producers / Productivity and Energy Flow
    • Primary Productivity: Biomass at the level of
      • Gross Primary Productivity: Biomass production at the Producer level
      • Net Primary Productivity (GPP − Respiration): Biomass available for the Primary Consumer
    • Secondary Productivity: Biomass at the level of

3. Energy Flow

ENERGY FLOWfrom the Sun to producers to consumersFollows the 10% law(10% of the energy of theprevious level is passedon to the next level)Flow is unidirectional.Energy is lost as heatat each levelFlow is from producersthrough the primary,secondary and tertiaryconsumersDecomposers get energyfrom the dead bodies ofproducers and consumers

4. Decomposition

  • Mineralisation (Slow breakdown of humus to release minerals)
  • Humification (Formation of humus)
  • Leaching (Inorganic nutrients percolate into the soil)
  • Catabolism (Action of enzymes on detritus)
  • Fragmentation by (detritivores)
