Transcription de la présentation

  1. Ecosystem Ecology the movement of materials and energy through an ecosystem Section 22-1 Pages 415-419

  2. Producers • Manufacture their own food • Capture energy and use it to make organic molecules • There are two types: • Photosynthetic = use energy from light • Chemosynthetic = use energy from inorganic chemicals • Examples = plants, protists, and bacteria

  3. Gross Primary Productivity - is the rate at which producers in an ecosystem capture energy

  4. Biomass - is the organic material in an ecosystem

  5. Standing Crop Biomass

  6. Net Primary Productivity = gross primary productivity – rate of respiration in producers • is the rate at which biomass accumulates • is expressed as: energy/area/year (kcal/m2/y) mass/area/year (g/m2/y)

  7. Primary Productivity of Different Ecosystems

  8. Consumers • obtain energy by ingesting or consuming organic molecules made by other organisms • grouped according to the food they eat • Herbivores = eat producers • Carnivores = eat consumers • Omnivores = eat both producers and consumers • Detritivores = eat garbage • Decomposers = break down dead tissues and waste into smaller molecules

  9. Movement of Stuff Through Ecosystems

  10. Trophic Levels • an organism’s position in the sequence of energy transfers • most ecosystems contain only three or four trophic levels Producers = 1st level Herbivores = 2nd level Carnivores = 3rd level +

  11. Movement of Energy

  12. Food Chain • a pathway of feeding relationships

  13. Food Chains

  14. Grazing Food Chain

  15. Food Web

  16. Energy Movement & Nutrient Cycling

  17. Note 10% energy transfer between trophic levels Pyramid of Net Production

  18. Ecological Efficiency

  19. Why is energy transfer so low? • Energy is reflected. • Energy is lost when some parts cannot be digested. • Energy is lost as waste. • Energy is lost in cellular respiration. • Energy is lost as heat. • Organisms die without being eaten.

  20. Ecological Efficiency 100 * 6 / 67 = 9% 100 * 67 / 1478 = 4.5% 100 * 3,368 / 20,810 = 17%

  21. Pyramid Shape • A diagram of trophic level relationships • Width of bar correlates with the number • Three primary types of diagrams • Energy • Biomass • Population numbers

  22. Biomass Pyramids

  23. Pyramid of Numbers

  24. Ecological Biomagnification
