Modeling - Production

Explore the concepts of primary and secondary production in stream ecosystems through this 31-minute lecture from BIOL 380 - Stream Ecology. Delve into the fundamentals of production, trophic levels, and population dynamics. Learn about exponential growth in populations and how to estimate area under the curve using binwidth. Understand the importance of these concepts in stream ecology and their broader implications. Supplement your learning with readings from chapters 34 (Stream Metabolism) and 35 (Secondary Production) in MSEv2, as well as additional materials from Nature's Scitable library on secondary production.

Modeling: Primary & Secondary production Dr. Thomas M Evans
What is production?
You lost me at trophic...
Simple bookkeeping
certain in life...death and taxes
Populations show exponential growth
Combine these two things
Estimating area under the curve binwidth
Why do we care then?
