ABSTRACT
As presented in Chapter 7, the eco-exergy density can be found from the concentrations of the ecosystem components and their β-values, which express the information content (see Table 4.1):
c∑ as detritus equivalents at the temperature T = 300 K Speci‰c exergy is exergy relative to the biomass and for the i-th component: Sp.-ex.i =
Exi/ci. is implies that the total speci‰c exergy per unit of area or per unit of volume of the ecosystem is equal to RTK, where K is the Kullbach’s measure of information (see
Chapter 3), or expressed by the number of amino acids coded by the genes, AMS, equal to 4.00*10-6*AMS.
