desert, open ocean, lake, tropical rain forest

Explanation:

The net primary productivity tells us about how productive an ecosystem is. It is usually derived by the difference between the amount of carbon dioxide that producers used to the amount they release during their cellular respiration.

  • The rainforest is the biome with the highest amount of net productivity.
  • The amount of sunlight and organic matter used up during photosynthesis is very large.
  • The tropical rain forest receives the highest amount of sunlight because the sun is overhead here.
  • This provides energy to drive photosynthetic process in the presence of other available resources.
  • Deserts are bare and lacks plants due to the extreme conditions here not favorable to life.
  • The open ocean productivity is restricted to the photic zone where light is only able to reach
  • Lakes are highly productive ecosystems.
