if the NPP =20000kJ m^-2 y^-1
detriv & decomp =15000kJ m^-2 y^-1
herbivores =200kJ m^-2 y^-1
carnivores =0

it is a young temperate deciduous forest.

As far as I can work out the energy is going unused as lost biomass from the trees that is over running the detrivores in leaf form.
Am I missing something obvious?:confused:

Missing Energy now there`s a thought?:D
I am ignoring you algbra cause its matracies that you need to look at and that
Not only for biomass... But what we call "New Technology".

The key is The Manhattan Project and Einsteins Philadelphia Experiments.
