Key differences, features, and comparative analysis of Number and What it refers to.
| Number | What it refers to |
|---|---|
| Less than 50% | of the incident solar radiation is Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) |
| 2–10% | of the PAR is captured by plants — and this small amount sustains the entire living world |
| ~1% | In an ideal pyramid of energy, primary producers convert only 1% of the energy in the sunlight available to them into NPP |
| 10% | The 10 per cent law — only 10% of energy is transferred to each trophic level from the lower trophic level |
