Question

What is pyramid of biomass with example

Answer 1

Biomass Pyramid- A diagrammatic representation of the amount of organic material (see biomass), measured in grams of dry mass per square metre (g m^-²), found in a particular habitat at ascending trophic levels of a food chain. Biomass decreases at each ascending level of the food chain.

The pyramid of biomass may be "inverted". For example, in a pond ecosystem, the standing crop of phytoplankton, the major producers, at any given point will be lower than the mass of the heterotrophs, such as fish and insects.
