Question

Write any two limitations of ecological pyramids.

Answer 1

The ecological pyramid is the representation of the different organisms or trophic levels in a food chain in the form of a pyramid. The limitations of ecological pyramids are:

• The decomposers which are a major part of the food chain, are not given any place in any trophic level.
  
• The organisms from the same species may be present in one or more trophic level but are considered in the same level.
  
• The food web is not considered in the ecological pyramid but only the details of the food chain are shown.
