A marine kelp forest ecosystem is studied to investigate biomass transfer. The biomass production rate of the giant kelp is found to be 3200 g m−2 yr−13200\text{ g m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}3200 g m−2 yr−1.
Based on the average efficiency of biomass transfer between trophic levels, what is the approximate rate of biomass accumulation in the secondary consumers?
3.2 g m−2 yr−13.2\text{ g m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}3.2 g m−2 yr−1
32 g m−2 yr−132\text{ g m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}32 g m−2 yr−1
320 g m−2 yr−1320\text{ g m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}320 g m−2 yr−1
3200 g m−2 yr−13200\text{ g m}^{-2}\text{ yr}^{-1}3200 g m−2 yr−1
