What is one of the least productive of all ecosystems?
Extreme dessert and tundra
Why do intertidal zones have very productive ecosystems?
Coastal ecosystems are generally highly productive because they benefit from nutrients in runoff water and they're shallow, providing ample light and shelter because plants can grow in many coastal ecosystems. Human activities have wide-ranging potential effects because humans tend to live close to the coast and because the effects aren't always obvious in advance.
A treeless shallow area usually covered with water is called a?
Wetlands are treeless shallow areas usually covered with water. They are transitionally between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They are among the most biologically productive natural ecosystems in the world.

Why are rivers more productive than swamps?
