Why are food chains relatively short? O Not enough energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next to support a longer chain. There are not enough species of carnivores to make the food chain longer. O Longer food chains require more land that is found in today's fragmented habitats. O There aren't enough different plant species to support enough herbivore species to support the number of carnivore species needed for longer food chains.
