Question
Chapter 57.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether an ecologist conducts an ecosystem science by measuring the species’ number in an ecosystem.
Introduction:
The ecosystem science is the branch of ecology in which the nutrient flow and energy transfer among the different communities can be observed. One community acts as a predator, whose presence is interdepend upon the presence of its prey. The trees act as the primary source of energy and plays an important role in establishing a community in an area.
