Biomagnification. is the process by which matter becomes concentrated in living things in a food chain.. Moving up the Food Chain . DDT provides one example of the effects of . biomagnification. in an ecosystem. DDT is a chemical that was widely used to kill plant–eating insects. Some chemicals break down over time, but DDT does not. DDT collected in water and soil, was absorbed by living things, and moved up the food chain. The diagram shows how DDT became magnified in a wetland ecosystem. It entered through tiny organisms called zooplankton, which absorbed DDT from the water..
