Food Web Model

Network analysis is performed on a 14 species food web model of the ecosystem occupying a mudflat on a partly reclaimed island of the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem. The results demonstrate a dramatic difference between this heavily impacted mangrove ecosystem in its modes of primary and secondary production and its diminished role of detritus vis-a-vis its less disturbed counterparts. Unlike most benthic mangrove systems, the Sundarban bottom community receives a large contribution from the phytoplankton populations. In this system herbivory and detritivory are virtually equal, in contrast to the usual herbivory:detritivory ratio of 1:5. Anthropogenic impacts have changed the physiography of this system so as to increase the relative importance of zooplankton and meiobenthos as herbivores. Although a slight degree of omnivory is exhibited by the populations of larger organisms, all flows of each integer of trophic length into a food chain may be aggregated that represents the underlying trophic status of the starting food web. Only a small number of pathways of recycle can be identified (31), and the Finn cycling index for this system is quite low (8.4%). Litterfall comprises only 16% of the total system input, which is very little in comparison with most mangrove systems. Pathway redundancy is rather high in this ecosystem, indicating that the surviving system is probably highly resilient to further perturbations, as one might expect for a highly impacted system.
