🌾 Meadow Energy Flow: Sunlight to Decomposers, Trophic Efficiency and the Biomass Pyramid
Follow a year of sunlight through a meadow food chain: light capture, plant respiration, herbivore and carnivore transfer efficiency, decomposers and heat loss. Compare energy, biomass and heat pyramids, and see why ocean plankton can give an inverted biomass pyramid.
