Ecosystem fluxes refer to the exchange of energy, nutrients, and other materials between different components of an ecosystem. This includes processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Understanding ecosystem fluxes is critical for assessing the functioning and health of ecosystems, as well as their response to environmental changes such as climate change or land use practices. Research in this area often involves the measurement and quantification of fluxes of carbon, water, and other key elements within ecosystems, as well as the factors that influence these fluxes. Additionally, ecosystem fluxes are important for understanding the role of ecosystems in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and their contributions to the Earth's climate system.
