Description

This editable infographic illustrates energy transfer through an ecological pyramid with five gradient-filled tiers: Primary Producer (100%), Primary Consumer (10%), Secondary Consumer (1%), Third-Level Consumer (0.1%), and Apex Predator (0.01%). Vector arrows extend from each level toward color-coded callouts—red for “Energy Lost As Heat” and orange for “Decomposer”—while a curved arrow from “Decomposer” returns nutrients to the base tier, and a sun icon feeds energy into producers. Built on master slides in PowerPoint and Google Slides, every shape, connector, and icon scales crisply and can be recolored or relabeled without disturbing alignment. Hidden guide layers simplify adding or removing levels, toggling between 12- and 24-hour formats, or switching to alternative layouts. Subtle drop shadows and sans-serif fonts maintain depth and legibility across screens or printed reports.

Who is it for

Ecologists, biology educators, and environmental consultants can leverage this pyramid to explain energy flow and trophic levels in classrooms, workshops, or stakeholder briefings. Sustainability officers and research teams will find it ideal for visualizing nutrient cycles and ecosystem dynamics.
