Food Web Diagram: Ecosystem Energy Flow Explained #3031151 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram depicts a terrestrial ecosystem where leafy plants and berry-bearing shrubs serve as primary producers. Primary consumers include grasshoppers, mice, rabbits, and squirrels, while secondary and tertiary consumers range from frogs and snakes to foxes and owls. Arrows indicate the direction of energy transfer, revealing complex feeding relationships and trophic interdependence.

Used in biology education (K-12 and introductory college courses) to teach ecological concepts like trophic levels, food chains vs. webs, and energy transfer efficiency; ideal for lesson plans, textbooks, and interactive learning modules.
