Which of the following ecosystems would likely have a larger net primary productivity/hectare?

  1. Open ocean because of the total biomass of photosynthetic autotrophs
  2. Grassland because of the small  standing crop biomass that results from consumption by  herbivores and rapid decomposition
  3. Tropical rainforest because of the massive standing crop biomass and species diversity. 
  4. Cave due to the lack of photosynthetic autotrophs
