A pyramid of biomass is narrow at the top because there is less biomass in higher trophic levels compared to lower ones. This occurs because energy is lost at each trophic level due to metabolic processes, heat production, and inefficiencies in energy transfer, typically around 90% is lost. As a result, fewer organisms can be supported at higher levels, leading to a decrease in biomass as you move up the pyramid. Consequently, the base, which represents producers, has the most biomass, while the apex, representing top predators, has the least.

What are the environmental issues regarding the pyramid of biomass?
Pyramid of Bio mass is a three dimensional structure, which represents theBIo-mass of a particular area. Pyramid of Bio mass and environmental issues, which are very closely interlinked, that it at a glance represents the biomass of Primary , secondary , tertiary consumer and producer.
Why is an ecosytem's energy pyramid wide at the base and narrow at the top?
The trophic levels are stacked in blocks, with the block representing producers forming the foundation of the pyramid. The size of the block is proportional to the biomass in each trophic level. The pyramid owes its steep shape to the loss of 90% or so of the energy with each food transfer in the chain. Found in my BIO 100 book. By Campbell Reece Simon.
