This chart illustrates the fundamental producer-decomposer co-dependency common to most ecosystems. Black boxes represent biomass (P for producers, D for decomposers) and white boxes represent material pools (organic and inorganic carbon and nutrients). Solid arrows indicate major carbon/nutrient flows and dashed arrows indicate minor flows The figure shows producers are dependent on decomposers for inorganic nutrients while decomposers are dependent on producers for organic materials. |
Robert Charlson, left, professor emeritus of atmospheric sciences and chemistry, is presented with a diploma from the king of Sweden, who honored him as the King Carl XVI Gustaf Guest Professor in Environmental Science at Stockholm University. The appointment is for the 1999-2000 academic year and is based in the university’s meteorology department, where Charlson is participating in an interdisciplinary course on the science of global climate change and biogeochemical cycles. After the presentation, Charlson gave a lecture for more than 850 honors science students from the gymnasiums in the Stockholm region. |
