The study of energy transfer in ecosystems is known as ecology, specifically focusing on trophic dynamics. This aspect examines how energy is captured by producers (like plants) through photosynthesis and subsequently passed through different trophic levels to consumers and finally to decomposers. Understanding energy flow helps explain ecosystem productivity and resilience to changes. It emphasizes the importance of energy efficiency and cycling within ecological interactions, offering insights into how ecosystems respond to natural and anthropogenic changes.
