Answer:

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = 3650 m²

Explanation:

From the given information:

the daily caloric requirement of the fox = 800  

In a year, we have = 800 kcal × 365 /year = 292,000 kcal/year

Also, only 10% of the energy at a particular trophic level can be passed onto the next.

the net productivity of the plant material = 8000 kcal/m²/yr

So, using 10% of energy at a particular level, the fox only need 80 kcal/m²/yr

The objective is to determine in square meters, how many materials are required to support the fox.

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = \dfrac{292,000}{80}

= 3650 m²
