Primes¶
- Dissipation
- Autotrophs capture ~1% as biomass; the remaining 99% is reflected, transmitted, or re-radiated as thermal infrared, as Odum (1969) characterized in his treatment of ecosystem development where energy flow organizes trophic structure.
This sourceFrames ecological succession in terms of energy flow, biomass accumulation, and the trophic organization that emerges as ecosystems mature — articulating dissipation across trophic levels as a structuring principle of community development.

- Ecological Succession
- In ecology, the home substrate, succession runs from bare rock through lichens, mosses, grass, and shrubs to mature forest after glaciation, or recovers after fire, with each stage modifying soil and light for the next; ecotones, aquatic systems, and reefs all instantiate it.
This sourceClassic account of directional, community-controlled ecosystem change in which the community modifies its physical environment toward a mature steady state.

- Garbage Collection
- In ecology it is decomposer chains reclaiming biomass no living organism uses, returning constituents to the nutrient pool.
This sourceTreats decomposer chains and detritus in succession as returning constituents to the nutrient pool and tightening biogeochemical cycling as ecosystems mature.
