To find the average biomass of the apex predators in this ecosystem, we need to add up the biomass of all apex predators and then divide by the number of different values.
Given values:
5,689 g/m2
12,561 g/m2
999 g/m2
Adding these values together: 5,689 + 12,561 + 999 = 19,249 g/m2
Dividing by the number of values (3), we get: 19,249 / 3 = 6,416.33 g/m2
Therefore, the average biomass of the apex predators in this ecosystem is approximately 6,416.33 g/m2.
