Ecosystem
Ecosystem A functional unit of nature, where biotic and abiotic factors interact

Terrestrial- forest, grassland

Aquatic- ponds, lake, sea

Primary Productivity Biomass production rate by primary producers

Gross primary productivity (GPP)- the rate of biomass production by photosynthesis

Net primary productivity (NPP)- available biomass for consumption by herbivores, it is obtained by subtracting respiratory loss from GPP

Decomposition Breaking down of complex organic matter of dead and decaying remains and excreta of plant and animals into inorganic substances

Example of decomposers- bacteria, fungi

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) The spectrum of light utilised by plants for photosynthesis

400-700 nm

Accounts for ~50% of solar radiation, out of which only 2-10% is captured by plants

Pyramid of energy Always upright

Only 10 percent of energy is transferred from each trophic level to the next trophic level

Pyramid of biomass Mostly upright

Inverted in the sea ecosystem as the biomass of large fish is more than phytoplanktons

Climax community A community, which is in equilibrium with its environment
Ecological succession Gradual changes in the composition of species in a given area
Seral communities Transitional communities during successive changes
Hydrarch succession The succession of plants in wet areas from hydric to mesic conditions
Xerarch succession The succession of plants in dry areas from xeric to mesic conditions
Pioneer species Species that grow on the bare area

E.g. lichens on a rock, phytoplanktons in water

Standing state Amount of nutrients present in the soil at a given time

Depends on seasons and types of ecosystems
