Consider a deciduous forest and its pyramid of biomass. Why are a large number of berry plants necessary to support a population of foxes?

Each trophic level on a biomass pyramid experiences a reduction in biomass weight or volume. For example, assuming an average biomass reduction of about 90% for each trophic level, 10,000 kg of grass should support 1000 kg of grasshoppers, which in turn support 100 kg of frogs. Although the carnivores (frogs) do not eat producers, a large producer biomass is required to support carnivores in a food web.
