Energy Flow and Nutrient Cycle
Energy flow, which refers to both the food chain and the food web, can be described as the movement of energy from one trophic level to another. It is well recognized that the energy flow in an ecosystem is unidirectional, with heat being transferred from one trophic level to another. Here, sunlight is regarded as the best possible source of energy. The transport of nutrients from the physical environment to living organisms and back to the environment is known as “nutrient cycling,” and it is a cyclical process. Where nutrients are recycled further converted into various forms, and then used again on Earth.
What is Nutrient Cycling?
To survive, organisms need nutrients. The natural recycling process is called the nutrient cycle. From one organism to the next, an element travels in a circular pattern. Recycling is the ecological process that supports and makes additional contributions to human welfare.
