ecological energetics

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14612
Study of the flow of energy within an ecological system from the time the energy enters the living system until it is irretrievably lost from the system as heat.
Note: It is also referred to as production ecology, because ecologists use the word "production" to describe the process of energy input and storage in ecosystems.
