To work out a pyramid of biomass, the dry masses of an organism is used because two of the same organisms could live in two different environments where one environment could be suffering from a drought whereas the other could live in a rain forest so to keep it fair they dry it out.
Continental air masses are typically dry because they form over land, where there is limited moisture available for them to pick up. Additionally, as these air masses move away from the ocean and over land, they do not have a source of moisture to replenish their supply, resulting in dry conditions.
Cold wet air masses originate from polar or arctic regions where the air is cold and has high moisture content. These air masses move towards lower latitudes and can bring cold temperatures and precipitation when they interact with warmer air masses.
Air masses that form over Canada are usually continental in nature, meaning they are dry and cold, especially in the winter months when they originate from the Arctic region. These air masses tend to bring colder temperatures and clear skies to the regions they move into.

The five types of air masses are polar, tropical, maritime, continental, and arctic. Polar air masses are cold and dry, tropical air masses are warm and dry, maritime air masses are warm and moist, continental air masses are dry and cold, and arctic air masses are extremely cold and dry.
Maritime tropical air masses typically bring wet conditions due to their warm and moist nature, while continental air masses tend to bring dry conditions due to their cool and dry characteristics. The interaction of these air masses plays a significant role in determining the climate of a region.
Maritime tropical: Warm and moist air masses originating over tropical oceans. Maritime polar: Cool and moist air masses originating over cold ocean waters. Continental tropical: Warm and dry air masses originating over hot and dry land areas. Continental polar: Cold and dry air masses originating over cold land areas.
The air masses that bring dry cold air from Siberia are known as continental polar air masses. These air masses form over the cold, interior regions of Asia, including Siberia, and move towards other regions, bringing cold and dry conditions with them.
Cold dry air masses are typically referred to as continental polar (cP) air masses. These air masses originate over cold, dry land areas and tend to bring cool temperatures and low humidity to the regions they affect.
Dry continental air masses. Much of the land is desert with a dry, hot climate.

Continental air masses are typically dry because they form over land, where there is limited moisture available for them to pick up. Additionally, as these air masses move away from the ocean and over land, they do not have a source of moisture to replenish their supply, resulting in dry conditions.
Continental Tropical air masses (cT) A continental tropical air mass forms in the interior of subtropical continents at about 15o to 35o north and south latitude. They are hot and dry air masses due to the temperature and moisture characteristics at their source region.
Continental polar air masses form over cold, dry land areas near the poles, such as Siberia in Asia and northern Canada in North America. These air masses are responsible for bringing cold temperatures and dry weather when they move southward.
Continental polar air masses are dry because they originate over cold land areas, which limit the amount of moisture that can be picked up. As the air cools, its capacity to hold moisture decreases, leading to dry conditions. Additionally, continental polar air masses typically bring cold air that inhibits evaporation, further contributing to their dry nature.
