Here’s the full question…
When considering energy issues in a biomass pyramid of an ecosystem, if you ate more producers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival? Discuss why. Also, if you ate more food from consumers, would this increase or decrease the percentage of the biomass pyramid necessary to support your survival?
admin answers:
Eating more producers would decrease the overall biomass. Eating more consumers would increase it.

How do you make a biomass pyramid?
I have to make a biomass pyramid for school. How do you find the biomass for a specific type of plant like Queen Anne’s Lace? How do you find biomass in general? Any useful websites? thanks

You just draw boxes to represent how much things weigh. How precise do you have to be. At the end of the day we all eat more than our own mass per year – so the mass of the producers is always biggest. Check out the picture on this website:

so make the box biggest for queen anne’s lace, and then make the next box smaller, and so on…
