A small biomass of producers can support a consumer population when there is enough energy available from the producers to sustain the consumer species. This relationship is dependent on factors such as energy transfer efficiency and the specific nutritional requirements of the consumer species. If the producers can replenish their biomass efficiently and there is minimal energy loss along the food chain, a small biomass of producers can indeed support a consumer population.

A biomass pyramid displays the total biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. In a typical pyramid, the biomass decreases as you move up the trophic levels, with primary producers at the base having the most biomass. In a tropical ecosystem, the biomass pyramid may be inverted due to high turnover rates and rapid growth and reproduction of organisms, leading to a larger biomass of consumers compared to producers.
Coral reefs have been estimated to have the most biomass among marine ecosystems, due to the diversity of species inhabiting them and their high productivity.
The broad categories of aquatic biomass are primary producers and secondary producers.
Producers store chemical energy in the biomass, also known as organic material, and the rate by which producers in an ecosystem build biomass is primary productivity. Both dealing with building biomass by the action caused by producers. Hope this helps (:
plant eaters because they eat directly into the producers.

why are the producers having greter biomas than the consumers
biomass , you put it in a pyramid, so a pyramid of biomass.
The amount of biomass made by producers
The producers, which are usually plants, represent the largest biomass in an ecosystem. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, providing food for consumers at higher trophic levels.

e.g. ORGANISM BIOMASS Grass 1000 Herbivores 300 Small Carnivores 28 Large Carnivores 6 1) from producer to primary = (300/1000)x100 2) from primary to secondary = (28/300)x100 3) from secondary to carnivores = (6/28)x100 Hope this helps :)
