A pyramid of biomass is a diagram used to show the relative amounts of biomass between different trophic levels in a food chain.

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.


This pyramid of biomass shows the biomass (in grams) of gazelles and bushes in a community needed to support just one cheetah.
