A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as phytoplankton...

Fishing down the food web is the process whereby fisheries in a given ecosystem, "having depleted the large predatory fish on top of the food web, turn to increasingly...

microbial food webs maintain higher trophic levels. Thus, these webs are crucial for energy flow and nutrient cycling in both freshwater and marine ecosystems...

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...

ocean food chains. When pesticides are incorporated into the marine ecosystem, they quickly become absorbed into marine food webs. Once in the food webs, these...

A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically...
