//**This is the trophic level pyramid.**//

= 10% Rule = = ﻿Only 10% of Biomass consumed gets transfered to the next level. The other 90% gets "lost" in the form of heat. For example if the Fox as a third level consumer were to eat the Desert Cottontail as a second level consumer the Fox would consume only 1 kg of biomass. The 10% rule applys to our ecosystem because it shows how all of the different levels of consumers, producers, and decomposers and the relationships that all the animals share. = = = = =
