a blind-ending sac in the digestive system, which occurs in mammals at the junction of the small and large intestines. In herbivores the caecum contains bacteria that produce cellulase, enabling breakdown of cellulose cell walls.

And normally we will sort it by major types, major functions, such as biomass of plants or biomass of herbivores or biomass of carnivores. And when I'm saying biomass, I mainly mean biomass of plants, which is what we focus most of our work on.

The most significant relation is the relation of predation (to eat or to be eaten), which leads to the essential concepts in ecology of food chains (for example, the grass is consumed by the herbivore, itself consumed by a carnivore, ...
