Explanation
Pyramid of numbers in a grassland/tree ecosystem is always upright. It shows the number of individual organisms at each level. In a grassland, the producers, which are mainly grasses, are always maximum in number. This number then shows a decrease towards the apex, primary consumers are lesser in number than the grasses; the secondary consumers are lesser in number than the primary consumers. Finally, the top consumers are the least in number. Thus, the pyramid becomes upright.
