Carlos calculated the biomass of each trophic level in an ecosystem. The values he calculated were: 5,689 gm2
12,561 gm2
999 gm2
and 292,635 gm2
.
What is the average biomass of the apex predators in this ecosystem?
To find the average biomass of the apex predators, we first need to identify which trophic level corresponds to the apex predators. The apex predators are typically found at the top of the food chain, so they would be in the highest trophic level.
The highest trophic level in this ecosystem has a biomass of 292,635 gm2. Therefore, the average biomass of the apex predators in this ecosystem is 292,635 gm2.
