Which of the following effects would desertification have on the
ecological balance represented in the diagram above? The calorific
value' of the energy
. 10 x 104k cal obtained from the sun would decrease
10 x 104k cal obtained from the sun would increase
6 x 104k cal obtained at level I would increase
1 x 104k cal obtained at level V would increase
3.5x 104k cal obtained at level II would increase

how will the energy obtained at level one be increased
there be a decrease in energy level
desertification will cause decrease in soil content and therefore the plant will require more energy to survive so the GPP must increase that is energy must Increase from normal in order to adapt to desertification
A and B can't be correct because the energy from the sun is constant, pyramid of energy shows the available energy at each level, during desertification the number of photosynthesing plant will be reduced drastically, which will reduce the total amount energy from all the plants, this In turn will reduce the available amount for the primary consumer and so on, so none of the answers are correct.
