Terrestrial ecosystem having the highest primary productivity is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Forest
Total primary production in an ecosystem is known as the ecosystem's gross primary production (GPP). Net primary production (NPP) = Gross primary production (GPP) - energy that is used by the producers for respiration (R). Tropical rain forest ecosystem has the highest average net primary productivity. The open oceans account for most of the net primary productivity on the planet even though they have one of the lowest average net primary productivities because they cover by far the most area on earth (65%).Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
