A food chain is a linear network of links in a food web, often starting with an autotroph (such as grass or algae), also called a producer, and typically...

A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community. Ecologists can broadly...

with the herbivorous food-chain and microbial loop as food-web end members. The classical linear food-chain end-member involves grazing by zooplankton on...

grazing. A meta-analysis of relevant studies between 1972 and 2016 found that Holistic Planned Grazing had no better effect than continuous grazing on...

environment, plants, and animals. Food webs describe the transfer of energy between species in an ecosystem. While a food chain examines one, linear, energy...

contributions to aquatic food webs are the biogeochemical services that they perform. The grazer food chain and the microbial food chain are inherently intertwined...

grazing or haying. The kind of grazing system employed (e.g. rest-rotation, deferred grazing, HILF grazing) is often important in achieving grazing benefits...

an Indonesian-owned Japanese fast food restaurant chain that cater to the Indonesian clientele. As a result the foods served there have been adapted to...

The 1970s also saw major changes in take-away food with the arrival of the first American fast-food chains: Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in 1971, Pizza...

known as a top predator or superpredator, is a predator at the top of a food chain, without natural predators of its own. Apex predators are usually defined...

synthesise the components of their own cells. A characteristic type of food chain called the detritus cycle takes place involving detritus feeders (detritivores)...

equal mass/area. Cattle adjust other aspects of their grazing behavior in relation to the available food; foraging velocity decreases and intake rate increases...

starting from the bottom to reach the top of the food web is called the food chain length. While food chain lengths can fluctuate, aquatic ecosystems start...

used as a source for grazing it must be reseeded manually to keep the plant numbers high enough to provide adequate food for grazers. The best time to plant...

grazing, food, water and air Check stocks and flows, maintain structure of systems Prevent chemical and medical residues from entering the food chain...

producers and consumers can further be organized into a food chain. Each of the levels within the food chain is a trophic level. In order to more efficiently...

A fructan is a polymer of fructose molecules. Fructans with a short chain length are known as fructooligosaccharides. Fructans can be found in over 12%...

in the large intestine to produce short-chain fatty acids (such as butyrate) used by intestinal cells for food energy. Forage legumes are of two broad...

control; power is concentrated in the center of the supply chain, where corporations control how food moves from producers to consumers. People living in different...

characteristics, because empirical grazing measurements are sparse, resulting in poor parameterisation of grazing functions. To overcome this critical...
