What environmental factor does the pyramid of energy incorporate that prevents it from inverting?

An energy pyramid shows energy transferred per unit of time, rather than just the amount of biomass present at one moment. This accounts for how quickly organisms and their biomass are replaced—their turnover rate—so a rapidly replaced lower trophic level can still support higher levels without making the energy pyramid invert. The correct choice is species turnover rate.
