Ecosystems: the flux of energy and matter
... Once solar energy is used to fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into plant material, there are differences among ecosystems in its availability to higher trophic levels. This is because primary producers can take many different forms, from algae to trees, and have differences in the allocation of carbon ...
