Meaning
A pyramid of biomass is a diagram used to show the relative amounts of biomass between different trophic levels in a food chain.
About Pyramids of Biomass
- There is always far greater biomass in the first trophic level (producers).
- The amount of biomass in each trophic level in a community decreases as the trophic level increases.
Examples
 |
| This pyramid of biomass shows the biomass (in grams) of gazelles and bushes in a community needed to support just one cheetah. |
