The upright pyramid of number is absent in :-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
In a forest ecosystem, the pyramid of number is typically spindle-shaped rather than upright because a single large producer (one tree) supports many herbivores (birds).
This contrasts with grasslands or ponds, where thousands of small producers (grass or algae) support a smaller number of primary consumers.
While the biomass in a forest remains upright, the sheer count of individuals at the base is lower than at the herbivore level.
