The strength of the food web approach is that it preserves the trophic behaviour of individual species; however, as we saw, food webs include so much detail that they quickly become difficult to interpret. Lumping of species into trophic levels, simplifies the distribution of energy within the ecosystem. For some interests, this approach may oversimplify ecosystem structure.
