Ecosystem dynamics from "summary" of Biology by Neil A. Campbell
Ecosystem dynamics refer to the complex interactions and changes that occur within an ecosystem over time. These dynamics are driven by various factors such as abiotic conditions, biotic interactions, and human activities. At the heart of ecosystem dynamics is the concept of energy flow and nutrient cycling. Energy flows through an ecosystem in the form of sunlight, which is captured by producers such as plants through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers through the consumption of plant material or other consumers. Nutrients, on the other hand, cycle through the ecosystem as they are taken up by organisms, released back into the environment through decomposit...
