Biomass

Real World Example

Imagine trying to manage your closet space to fit all your clothes without it overflowing. This is similar to how ecologists think about biomass, as they measure the total mass of all living matter in a given area, much like you assess the space your clothes occupy to keep things organized. Just as you need to understand the volume and arrangement of your clothes to maintain order in your closet, biomass involves understanding the amount and distribution of living matter in an ecosystem to grasp the ecological balance and health of that area.
