Ecological Pyramids
Energy PyramidShows relative amount of energy available at each trophic level
Only 10% of available energy transferred from one trophic level to the next

Nutrient Cycles
Carbon Cycle
Biological processes (photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition) take up & release carbonGeochemical processes (erosion, volcanic activity) release CO2 into the atmosphereMixed processes (burial & decomposition of dead organisms converting to petroleum) store carbon undergroundHuman activities (mining, forestation, burning fossil fuels) release CO2 into atmosphere

Nitrogen Cycle All organisms require nitrogen to build proteinsN2 is in atmosphereNitrogen fixation – bacteria convert N2 to NH3 in soil, used as nutrients for producersDenitrification – bacteria convert NH3 to N2 in atmosphere
Used in forming DNA/RNANot in atmosphere, just soil and water

Ecosystem Modeling
16
Through the use of computers, the attempt to model an ecosystem in order to predict what might happen to that ecosystem (or the species within it) if some modification to the ecosystem happens.
An example: DDT biological magnification (an increase in the concentration of a substance that occurs in a food chain as a result of:
•Persistence•Food chain energetics•Low rate of degradation
