KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 12. Ecosystem
Which one of the following ecosystem has the highest annual net primary productivity?
- A Desert
- B Tropical deciduous forest
- C Tropical rain forest
- D Temperature evergreen forest
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Tropical rain forest
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C) Tropical rain forest,
The primary productivity (NPP) is the biomass that is available for consumers (herbivores and decomposers) for consumption. Since in the tropics where rainforests are found, water, light and high temperatures are readily available, and there is a dense concentration of green plants at all levels.
