What to Focus On

  • Ecosystems are open systems with unidirectional energy flow
  • Biotic components include producers, consumers, and decomposers
  • Abiotic components provide the physical environment and resources

  • NPP is the energy available to heterotrophs after plant respiration
  • Global NPP is 170 billion tons annually (dry weight)
  • Ocean productivity is lower per unit area compared to terrestrial

  • Decomposition recycles nutrients and creates space for new organisms
  • Earthworms are called farmer's friends due to their decomposer role
  • Humus is highly resistant to microbial action and decomposes slowly

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Energy is recycled in ecosystems just like nutrients

Pyramid of energy can be inverted like pyramid of biomass

GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) is always greater than NPP (Net Primary Productivity)
