Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inverted ecological pyramids can occur in aquatic ecosystems where the biomass of primary producers (such as phytoplankton) is lower than the biomass of primary consumers (such as zooplankton), which in turn is lower than the biomass of secondary consumers (such as fish). This can happen due to factors such as rapid turnover rates, high consumption rates, and low productivity.
