Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following statement is true for pyramid of biomass? Explanation: Biomass is a measure of the amount of food available. When animals eat only a small proportion of their food, it is converted into new tissue. This tissue is the food for the next trophic level organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The biomass is the mass of living biological organisms in a given area or ecosystem at a given time. Biomass can refer to species biomass, which is the mass of one or more species, or to community biomass, which is the mass of all species in the community. It can include microorganisms, plants or animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -We show that mixtures of species produce an average of 1.7 times more biomass than species monocultures and are more productive than the average monoculture in 79% of all experiments.
Detailed explanation-4: -Typical units of biomass are grams per meter squared (g/ m2), although you will also see kg/m2, lb/ ft2, etc. change, so biomass is often converted to carbon storage (For more information on the role of carbon in climate, see the Carbon Cycle Introduction Activities).
