The bioenergetic approach views ecosystems in terms of energy flow and transformation. It quantifies the amount of energy at different trophic levels, how efficiently it is transferred from one level to the next, and how energy is lost from the system. This involves understanding food webs (food relationships) and the different forms of energy (solar energy captured by producers, chemical energy in biomass) that sustain life within the ecosystem.
