ECOSYSTEM ENERGY
FLOW
Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately
comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor,
by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of
photosynthesis. You can learn more than you want to know
about this process in the unit on photosynthesis. Or, you could
just chat with your local botanist. Everyone has one, right?
The organisms in an ecosystem that capture the sun’s
electromagnetic energy and convert it into chemical energy
are called producers. Not to be confused with these
Producers.
