We have already discussed these two. Let’s continue the roll and compare directly one and another.
Terrestrial
- First levels are more energetically efficient
- Solar energy capture (GPP) more efficient
- Energy transfer between trophic levels not as efficient
Aquatic
- Food is harvested from the top trophic levels, such it lacks from energy
- GPP is lower because of the water barrier
- The transfer between trophic levels is most efficient.
