Pyramid of Biomass in Terrestrial Ecosystems - Visual Explanation #3529528 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram shows a classic upright pyramid of biomass for a terrestrial ecosystem, where producers (e.g., grasses) form the broad base at 1000 kg, followed by herbivores (100 kg), primary carnivores (10 kg), and top carnivores (1 kg). Each level represents the total dry mass of organisms at that trophic stage, demonstrating the ~10% energy transfer efficiency rule. Visual icons (deer, rabbit, wolf, lion) help clarify species roles.

Used in ecology education, biology textbooks, and environmental science web content to teach trophic dynamics and energy flow; matches user intent for understanding ecosystem structure, food chains, or preparing for exams.
