This is obviously a related subject. I didn't know how/if to integrate, so I added "See also" link. ~E74.60.29.141 (talk) 01:32, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The two concepts are identical. Energetics is the study of energy transformation ("flow"). Ecological stoichiometry is similar and might be combined as well. --Animalparty-- (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2014 (UTC)  Done[reply]

It looks like we need to vastly improve the citations and sources on this page. There is only one reference for the picture while the article itself lacks citations entirely. Srichardson6 (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explore in more depth the trophic levels, improving the sources. The source provided is not accessible to the public. LauraKJamison (talk) 17:52, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My school group and I have rewritten the article and will be replacing the old text with new text. While the current version is very informative and provided a great outline of what to cover, we quickly realized that including the old text in the new write-up would be difficult due to the lack of citations. Performing the much needed back-research to cite the original information was going to be a very time consuming process to undertake. So, in order to meet Wikipedia standards, we felt it was best to start fresh :) Srichardson6 (talk) 17:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is our group's sandbox page, which we moved all the information over from, User:Srichardson6/Energy_flow_(ecology) --Anonymous Algae (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
