19 Οκτ 2023 · Marine Food Pyramid. This food pyramid displays a basic marine food web. Organisms on the first trophic level, such as plants and algae, are consumed by organisms on the second trophic level, such as conchs and blue tangs. At the top of the food web is an apex predator, a shark. Illustration by Tim Gunther.
These levels can be illustrated in a trophic pyramid where organisms are grouped by the role they play in the food web. For example, the 1st level forms the base of the pyramid and is made up of producers.
Habitats lead to variations in food webs. Networks of trophic interactions can also provide a lot of information about the functioning of marine ecosystems. Compared to terrestrial environments, marine environments have biomass pyramids which are inverted at the base.
A marine ecosystem food web is a structured diagram that shows the complex feeding relationships between different aquatic organisms, demonstrating how energy and nutrients circulate through different trophic levels.
Ecological Pyramids. Energy Pyramid & the 10% Rule. Attributions. Earth’s System. All life on earth is supported by nutrients being recycled repeatedly.
2 Ιαν 2018 · We show that top-heavy trophic structure in marine ecosystems is theoretically possible based on energetic balance and metabolic scaling.
1 Φεβ 2019 · Made of interconnected food chains, food webs help us understand how changes to ecosystems — say, removing a top predator or adding nutrients — affect many different species, both directly and indirectly. Phytoplankton and algae form the bases of aquatic food webs.
