The document contains a 40 question quiz about environmental management and ecosystems. It covers topics like the components of an ecosystem, different ecosystem types, trophic levels, food chains and energy transfer between organisms. The questions test understanding of key concepts in ecology including producers, primary/secondary/tertiary consumers, decomposers, and how energy and matter cycle through food webs in ecosystems.
