This is one group's estimate of biomass by taxa, represented as a "Voronoi diagram" which is similar to a pie chart. Take a minute to take it in, and I'd love to hear what aspect of this you find surprising. For example, amphibians and reptiles are negligible biomass on this scaling.

AI synopsis
What people are saying
Engagement on this topic showcases various concerns and insights derived from the publication, with users emphasizing issues like the overwhelming biomass of humans and livestock comprising a shocking 96% of all mammalian biomass. Phrases like 'life on Earth is predominantly human or livestock' and concerns over biodiversity loss demonstrate a critical outlook on humanity's ecological footprint, indicating both alarm and interest within the discussions.
Overall, many discussions reflect a supportive view of the study's findings regarding biomass distribution, though some cite specific discrepancies.
The discussions reveal high curiosity about the data and implications, as evidenced by many requests for clarifications and source references.
While some participants engage more lightly, there are notable references to the study's implications for biodiversity and human impact, indicating varying levels of depth.
There’s a strong perception that the publication is significant, particularly with regards to understanding human and livestock biomass compared to wild species.
Abstract in brief
- A comprehensive census reveals that Earth's biomass totals around 550 gigatons of carbon, with plants dominating at approximately 450 Gt C, mainly found on land.
- Marine life represents about 2 Gt C, while bacteria and archaea contribute around 70 Gt C and 7 Gt C, respectively, primarily inhabiting deep subsurface areas.
- The study indicates that there are more marine consumers than producers in the food pyramid and notes that human biomass is significantly greater than all wild mammals combined, emphasizing humanity's impact on global biomass across various species.

Most liked on X and BlueskyChecking some facts, I found this figure, showing global biomass estimates by organism type. L = everything alive, by weight; R = animals on Earth, by weight. Arthropods & fish dominate, but humans and livestock are a surprising chunk. From this paper: https://t.co/rnGicRHOMP https://t.co/rRsK4Z1pdx
I really enjoyed this bionumbers-style paper - did you know that human biomass is ~10x that of all wild mammals combined? Also plants are just so dominant by biomass, but bacteria are a close second. https://t.co/NQ6VF62Khd https://t.co/yPAphAQ86I

As seen on the map, Earth became 16% greener from 1982 to 2017. That's 16% more plant matter. That's another 72 Gt C. Reference: Global live and recently alive carbon mass in 2017 was 550 Gt. Plants 450.8 Gt. (0.8 Gt marine). https://t.co/1GEumUnKtx

@Climate_Earth20 @HoeyberghsJeff Total livestock is only 0,02% (2/10.000) of Total biomassa . https://t.co/zoXW1HgGtk
However, as 2018 estimate of Total Biomass is out of sync with the new paper Wiki cites[1], at 550 Gt for All Life, 450 for All Plants, much less than the 600 Gt in the new Nature study With error bars like these...

Echando un vistazo a "The biomass distribution on Earth" (https://t.co/MeZWiv756G) Toda la tabla es flipante, pero mirad ahora la impresionante diferencia entre la masa humana y del ganado frente a la de mamíferos y aves salvajes. https://t.co/AmGlWsSaqP
La biomasa de los seres humanos (≈0.06 Gt C) y la del ganado (≈0.1 Gt C) superan la de los mamíferos silvestres, (≈0.007 Gt C). La biomasa animal comprende principalmente artrópodos (≈1 Gt C), seguidos de los peces (≈0.7 Gt C) Via @DNThomas01 https://t.co/TSAjQEN6JS

Checking some facts, I found this figure, showing global biomass estimates by organism type. L = everything alive, by weight; R = animals on Earth, by weight. Arthropods & fish dominate, but humans and livestock are a surprising chunk. From this paper: https://t.co/rnGicRHOMP https://t.co/rRsK4Z1pdx
@PanuHalme @marikoo @AValkeapaa I find your chicken number around 7-8 times higher compared to those reported in Bar-On et al., 2018 https://t.co/sGRAJRdsxx . Here the calculations are going to other direction thought. And some supplementary poultry n and biomass calculations in R https://t.co/0zOWeBxmDh
within animals fishes are the only group approaching arthropods in terms of biomass. All other groups are much smaller The biomass distribution on Earth http://www.pnas.org/content/115/25/6506
