The document discusses various topics related to ecosystems, including:
1) The rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers for the next trophic level is called secondary productivity.
2) A.G. Tansley is considered the father of ecosystem ecology.
3) The humus is further degraded by microbes through the process of mineralization, which releases inorganic nutrients.
4) Temperature and soil moisture are the most important climatic factors regulating the rate of decomposition in ecosystems.
