Ecosystems need a continuous external energy supply because energy conversion is exothermic, and heat is lost and cannot be reconverted.
Ecosystems require a continuous influx of external energy because converting chemical energy into other forms is exothermic, and the resulting heat cannot be converted and is lost from the ecosystem.
