Educative directed graph ecosystem

An easy-to-calculate energy balance

Incoming arrows represent the absorption of energy; outgoing arrows represent the release of energy. This makes it possible to calculate the figures for each cluster.
Planten: + 11184 - 8881 - 2003 - 300 = 0
Organisch afval: + 8881 + 635 + 1600 + 200 + 167 - 5205 - 2306 - 3109 = 863
Bacteriën: + 5205 - 3275 - 1600 - 75 = 255
Afval opruimers: + 75 + 2306 - 200 - 370 - 1814 = -3
Vleeseters: + 370 + 167 - 203 = 334
