  1. The data in the table below relate to the transfer of energy in a small clearly defined habitat. The units in each case are in kJ.m-2.yr-1 • Construct an energy flow model to represent all these data • Calculate the Net Productivity for • Producers • Consumers • Decomposers • In which stage of succession would this community be? Justify your answer with one calculation.

  2. ENERGY FLOW MODEL R=576 R=36120 R=14700 R=4 1st. Carnivores Top Carnivores 60724 21762 714 7 Producers Herbivores 3072 42 477 1 Decomposers R=3120

  3. Calculations: 60724 - NPP of Producers: (36120+477) =24127 kJ.m-2.yr-1 NSP of Herbivores: 21762 -(14700+3072) =3990 kJ.m-2.yr-1 NSP of Herbivores: 714 -(576+42) =96 kJ.m-2.yr-1 NSP of Herbivores: 7 -(4+1) =2 kJ.m-2.yr-1 NSP of Consumers: 22483 -(15280+3115) =4088 kJ.m-2.yr-1 -3120 NSP of Decomposers: (477+3072+42+1) =472 kJ.m-2.yr-1 Question: Is there any evidence in this data which can support the idea that this community is a Climax Community? Explain your answer.
