Food Webs

In any ecosystem, there are complex relationships between organisms that each play an important role in keeping the whole system healthy. Some living things are producers, such as plants, which create their own food through photosynthesis. Others are consumers, such as animals that gain energy by eating other organisms. And some are decomposers, like bacteria or fungi that break down organic waste. Using clear, concise language, this book explores the nuanced relationships between the organisms in a food web.
