As you go up in an ecosystem the bigger animals have less energy. While the organisms down at the bottom like plants that create their own energy have greater amounts. This is because energy is rated doing everyday things. As energy travels up the food pyramid, it looses more and more energy. This is knower as the 10% rule. In which every time you go up 10% of energy is lost.
Some of the factors are:
<span>-Moderate climate.
-central geography,
-ease of transportation,
