portion of that vegetable biomass, and in turn, synthesize from it, after appropriate
metabolic activity, the following amount of biomass:

s a b

ij
∫ ∫ ∫m p(t)Ψ(ab)n(ab)dsdadb=m ab p(t) (5)
0 0 0
where:

m ab p (t) — equals the biomass of herbivorous animals, synthesized per unit of time per
unit of area.

Carnivores, in turn, consume herbivorous animals. The biomass that carnivorous

animals synthesize from the quantity of herbivores eaten, after appropriate metabolic
processes, yields the following:

s c q
cq
∫ ∫ ∫m ab p(t)Ψ(cq)n(ab)dsdcdq=m p(t) (6)
0 0 0
where:

cq
m p (t) — equals the biomass of carnivorous living organisms, synthesized per unit of
time per unit of area. We should note that all species, which consume both living and
dead herbivorous organisms, are classified as carnivores. We may now construct a
mathematical model of an ecological system, using the above-mentioned equations (4),
(5) and (6), as follows:

cq
ij
m p(t) + m ab p(t) + m p(t) = constΨ (7)
Biological research has shown that ten percent of the biomass from plants becomes
biomass for herbivores and ten percent of the biomass from herbivores becomes
biomass for carnivorous animals.

We may render this equation in a slightly different but more obvious form by extracting
the common factor from the brackets and substituting the value for each item:

s i j
∫ ∫ ∫W(s)Ψ(ij)n(ij)dsdidj[1+…+…]=constΨ (8)

From equation (8) we note that the entire spectrum of nature’s living forms, as well as
their qualitative and quantitative composition is determined by:

a) the amount of solar radiation striking a unit of the planet’s surface per unit of time;
