Ecosystems can be small, such as the tide pools found near the rocky shores of many oceans, or large, such as the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. Ecosystem ecology is the integrated study of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of ecosystems and their interactions within an ecosystem framework. This field examines how ecosystems work and relates this to their components

The producers pass their energy to the various trophic levels of consumers. At the base of detrital food webs are the decomposers, which pass their energy to a variety of other consumers. Detrital food webs are important for the health of many grazing food webs because they eliminate dead and decaying organic material, clearing space for new organisms.

Ecosystem ecology focuses on the transfer of energy and matter among living and non-living components within and between ecosystems. Ecosystems can be classified based on their general environment: freshwater, ocean water, and terrestrial. Ecologists study ecosystems using controlled experiments (in either natural or manipulated environments) and by creating ecosystem models that d
