A pyramid of numbers will only tell you the amount of organisms at each trophic level.
A Biomass pyramid ignores the amount of organisms in favour of their biomass (dry weight) which in turn represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level.

it would be harnessed anywhere in manchester where you would be able to find a forest, plants, or animals.

Biomass is the total amount of all living material in a given area. Example- the total biomass in 1 cubic foot of your lawn would most likely include grass, worms, insects, and maybe some fungi. Biomass is also used to describe fuel sources from living or recently living organisms. Wood, waste fuels, and alcohol fuels are all examples of this kind of biomass.
no it wouldnt it would be 45.
A biomass pyramid looks like an energy pyramid, in that the largest biomass is contained in the producer level, and the least biomass is contained in the level of the highest order consumer. Basically, as you move up the energy pyramid, there is less energy available to support the biomass at each subsequent level.
for pandas create a pyramid of biomass by putting the most weight fr panda then depending on sise and population for your choosen animals.
the world wouldnt be how it was always
The shape would be an upside down pyramid
The pyramid of numbers would be inverted, with more herbivores at the base than producers. This is because more herbivores are consuming the producers, leading to a higher number of herbivores compared to producers.

i believe the concentration becomes greater as you move up the food chain, or up the biomass pyramid, meaning that the highest level of consumer has the highest amount of toxicity. I always thought it was the other way around but I've done some research and that's what I found.
A pyramid is bigger at the bottom and small and pointy at the top. so its bigger at the bottom, otherwise it would have been called an energy upside-down pyramid =). But anyway, energy enters a food chain from the sun. some energy and biomass is lost at each stage of a food chain as feaces, movement energy and heat energy (especiall birds and mammals). therefore only a small amount of energy and biomass is incorporated into a consumer's body and transferred to the next feeding level. the loss of energy and biomass at each stage is a representation of why the pyramid gets smaller at the top.
Decomposers feeding on living things.
mice Biomass is calculated by shaving all the hair, removing the nails and dehydrating the corpse because these things are not living tissue. If you look at the energy pyramid you would see that only 10% of the mice's availability is available to the hawk (mice predator). Logically you can only support 10% as much life (biomass).
An ecological pyramid of biomass shows the relationship between biomass and trophic level by quantifying the amount of biomass present at each trophic level of an ecological community at a particular moment in time. It is a graphical representation of biomass(total amount of living or organic matter in an ecosystem) present in unit area in different tropic levels. Typical units for a biomass pyramid could be grams per meter2, or calories per meter2.The pyramid of biomass may be 'inverted'. For example, in a pond ecosystem, the standing crop of phytoplankton, the major producers, at any given point will be lower than the mass of the heterotrophs, such as fish and insects. This is explained as the phytoplankton reproduce very quickly, but have much shorter individual lives.One problem with biomass pyramids is that they can make a trophic level look like it contains more energy than it actually does. For example, all birds have beaks and skeletons, which despite taking up mass are not eaten by the next trophic level. In a pyramid of biomass the skeletons and beaks would still be quantified even though they do not contribute to the overall flow of energy.(This is copied from Wikipedia)
