كيف يؤثر تغير المناخ على تدفق الطاقة في نظام بيئي
Climate change fundamentally alters energy flow within an ecosystem by disrupting primary production, shifting species distribution, and destabilizing food webs.
It directly reconfigures how energy is captured and transferred through trophic levels.

Primary Producer Impacts
Changing temperatures and precipitation patterns directly affect photosynthetic rates and the growth of primary producers. Phenomena like "El Nino: A phenomenon supercharged by climate change" lead to extreme weather that stresses plant life globally, altering the base of ecosystem energy.
Food Web Stability
Disruptions to primary production cascade through food webs, impacting herbivore and subsequently carnivore populations. Extreme weather events, such as the destructive flooding noted in "Why Nepal floods should worry India," directly remove biomass and stored energy from ecosystems, compounding instability.
