What is biological magnification? Will the levels of this magnification be different at different levels of the ecosystem?
Answer
The phenomenon of accumulation of harmful chemicals progressively at each trophic level is called biological magnification.
The levels of the biological magnification increases with increase in levels of the ecosystem i.e. the concentration of chemicals rises with successive trophic level.
