-You are studying the movement of energy through an ecosystem. You collect data on energy use at the same site across four years, measured in g/m²/year. Assume that the site is sampled at the same location on the same date each year. Compare net secondary production in year 4 with year 3. How did net secondary production change? What could have driven this change? What is unusual about net secondary production in year 4? How could heterotrophs survive under these conditions?
