Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamental principles of energy and matter flow in ecosystems through this 50-minute lecture from Yale University's "Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior" course. Delve into the interdisciplinary study of matter and energy movement, drawing from geology, meteorology, and chemistry. Examine the upward flow of energy from producers to consumers and its eventual decomposition. Investigate the cycling of vital compounds like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous throughout the planet. Learn about energy production methods such as photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Gain insights into ecosystem compartments and biogeochemical cycles. Enhance your understanding of ecological processes and their global implications in this comprehensive exploration of ecosystem dynamics.
