The energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a
community. Producers are at the bottom while tertiary consumers
are at the top. The most energy is at the bottom and the least
energy is at the top. The most biomass is at the bottom and the
least biomass is at the top. The different levels represent different
groups or organism that might compose a food chain.

plants and form acid rain.
An animal's niche is the functional role of an organism considered in the
environment in which it lives, its "job." A niche is multidimensional. No two
organisms can occupy the same niche at the same time in the same place.
Restoration ecology is the scientific process of developing theory to guide
restoration and of using restoration to advance ecology.
Ecological restoration is the practice of restoring degraded ecological systems.
