Ecological Pyramids

Instead of representing trophic levels in a food web, an ecological pyramid can be used. Grass (10,000 kcal) Grasshopper (1,000 kcal) Frog (100 kcal) Snake (10 kcal) Hawk (1 kcal)

Ecological Pyramids Does this pyramid represent a food chain or web? How could this pyramid be changed to represent a food web? Grass (10,000 kcal) Grasshopper (1,000 kcal) Frog (100 kcal) Snake (10 kcal) Hawk (1 kcal)

Ecological Pyramids What do the big numbers represent? What does the kcal mean? Grass (10,000 kcal) Grasshopper (1,000 kcal) Frog (100 kcal) Snake (10 kcal) Hawk (1 kcal)

Pyramid of Energy What happens to the energy as you go up? How much energy is available for the next level? (What %) Grass (10,000 kcal) Grasshopper (1,000 kcal) Frog (100 kcal) Snake (10 kcal) Hawk (1 kcal)

Pyramid of Energy Pyramids of energy show the relative amount of energy available at each trophic level of a food chain or food web. Grass (10,000 kcal) Grasshopper (1,000 kcal) Frog (100 kcal) Snake (10 kcal) Hawk (1 kcal)

Pyramid of Energy

Ecological Pyramids How is this pyramid different from the previous ones? What could the multiple pictures of the species at each level represent?

Pyramid of Biomass A pyramid of biomass illustrates the relative amount of living organic matter available at each trophic level Biomass-the total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level.

Pyramid of Biomass What information would this pyramid include if it were a pyramid of biomass? How do they get a number total for the biomass of a population?

Pyramid of Biomass

Pyramid of Numbers A pyramid of numbers shows the relative number of individual organisms at each trophic level.

Pyramid of Numbers What information would this pyramid include if it were a pyramid of numbers? How do they get a number total for a population of organisms?

Pyramid of Numbers

Pyramids of Aquatic Ecosystems Numbers Biomass Energy Phytoplankton are microscopic and weigh very little

Pyramids of Temperate Forests Numbers Biomass Energy Trees are huge but not as numerous as many smaller forest creatures.
