The total weight of dry matter is referred to as biomass. The pyramid of biomass represents the weight of dry matter at different trophic levels of the ecosystem at one time in a food chain or food web.  Grassland ecosystem: - In a grassland ecosystem, the pyramid of biomass is upright i.e., the pyramid of biomass shows a gradual reduction in biomass at each trophic level from base to apex. Green plants →Rabbit→ Fox→ Lion Aquatic ecosystem: - In the pond or aquatic ecosystem, the biomass of consumers is always greater than the biomass of producers. As a result, it takes the form of an inverted pyramid. Phytoplanktons → Zooplanktons → Small fishes →Large fishesPhytoplanktons → Zooplanktons → Small fishes →Large fishes
