Why does each bar of a pyramid of biomass usually get narrower towards the top?
Organisms at higher levels are always smaller in body size
Most of the biomass eaten at each level is used for growth
Organisms at higher levels need less food for each kilogram
Only about 10% of biomass passes to the level above
