Abstract: | A general formula defining the free energy expenditures in the processes of algal nutrition and zooplankton feeding has been derived. It appears to be symmetrical in respect of space and time scales. In conditions of optimal control the theoretical relationship between effective free energy expenditures and losses appears to be the ‘golden proportion’. The general trends of the system due to the first and second laws of thermodynamics and Prigogine's theorem form a theoretical basis for phenomenological rules of ecosystem's development. |
