This is because energy is lost at each trophic level. The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.

The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called biomass. Biomass represents the combined weight of all living organisms within that specific trophic level. It is an important measure of the energy available at each level of a food chain or food web. Biomass can be quantified in terms of grams, kilograms, or any other unit of mass.
