Answer:
A chain of reactions is initiated upon soil flooding leading to reduced (low) soil redox potential (Eh, mV) conditions. These reactions include physical, chemical and biological processes that have significant implications for wetland plants.
Secondary consumers receive less energy from the food chain than primary consumers.
Primary consumers are herbivores, meaning they eat the plants that have 100% energy.
Secondary consumers are either omnivores or carnivores. This means that they eat both animals and plants. In the situation that a secondary consumer is a carnivore, the secondary consumer is receiving less energy from the primary consumer.
Hope this helps!
