Talk:Ecological pyramid

• This page appeared to be more or less cut and pasted from the external link. As such it made reference to things that were not in this article (a previous example with aphids and trees was alluded to half way through, for example). In addition to this apparent plagiarism, the distinction between mass and energy in trophic pyramids is not the significant one. The important distinction is between pyramids which show the mass (or energy) at a single point in time (g or cal / m^2) versus those that show productivity or turnover (g or cal / m^2 / year). The article as previously written confused these two ideas. I have rewritten it accordingly, and may work on it some more to reduce the phrasing similarities with the linked page.

[edit] New figures

I like the new figures! Thanks, Gailwin. Tertiary, however, is misspelled in the figure (as terciary). Also, the article probably doesn't need both versions, since they differ only in their titles. Cheers, Justinleif 17:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling in both diagrams

Please change the spelling "terciary" to "tertiary" in both diagrams. -- Wavelength 07:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
