The rate of formation of new organic matter by deer in a forest ecosystem is called
- A primary productivity
- B secondary productivity
- C standing crop
- D bare rock
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) secondary productivity
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) secondary productivity,
The net primary productvity is the biomass that is available for consumers (herbivores and decomposers) for consumption. These organisms (heterotrophs) also produce new organic matter and the process is called secondary production because it depends on the production of autotrophic organisms. The rate of production of organic compounds by the heterotrophs is known as secondary productivity.
