Define ecological pyramids.

परिभाषा

उत्तर

An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of various environmental parameters, such as the number of individuals present at each trophic level, the amount of energy, or the biomass present at each trophic level. Ecological pyramids represent producers at the base, while the apex represents the top-level consumers present in the ecosystem.
