The soil food web is the community of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil. It describes a complex living system in the soil and how...

The trophic level of an organism is the position it occupies in a food web. A food chain is a succession of organisms that eat other organisms and may...

The microbial food web refers to the combined trophic interactions among microbes in aquatic environments. These microbes include viruses, bacteria, algae...

Phytoplankton form the lowest trophic level of marine food webs and thus capture light energy and materials to provide food and energy for hundreds of thousands...
