What is a grazing food web?

A grazing food web is an ecological model that illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients through a community, primarily focusing on herbivores that consume plants (producers) and the predators that feed on these herbivores. In this system, energy is transferred from plants to primary consumers (herbivores) and then to secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores). This web highlights the interdependence of species and the cycling of energy through different trophic levels. Grazing food webs are crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and the balance of ecosystems.
