The Ten percent law for the transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next was introduced by Lindeman (1942). According to this law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the of energy from organic matter is stored as flesh. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic levels.

The 10 percent law states that only approximately 10 percent of energy consumed at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. The remaining energy is lost as heat or utilized for metabolic processes. This law helps explain why food chains are generally limited in length, as energy becomes increasingly scarce as you move up the trophic levels.
