A report is given on the primary production of a meadow ecosystem in four years. The different energy flow parameters of the Chorthippus parallelus (Zett.) (Orthoptera) population are given, and a ...

A food web can be seen as a collection of pathways distributing energy to the ecological community. Because of thermodynamical as well as ecological constraints, some pathways are more important than ...

In a striking revelation, new research led by Oxford University has unveiled that Africa’s ecosystems are currently operating on less than two-thirds of the natural energy they once commanded.

Up to 30% of life, by weight, is underground. Seismic activity may renew the energy supply for subterranean ecosystems.

Groundwater is the largest source of freshwater, one of the world's most precious natural resources and vital for crops and drinking water. Researchers have developed the first global computer model ...

The feeding sequence, showing the energy flow from producers to consumers, is called a food chain. Each step is called a trophic level: producers are on the first trophic level 1, primary consumers ...
