Primary productivity tells you how productive an ecosystem will be. It is the rate at which chemical energy is produced from sunlight, which determines the maximum amount of energy available to all higher trophic levels in an ecosystem.

What is biological productivity?
Biological productivity is how much energy or mass is produced by the members of an ecosystem. There are two types of biological productivity: primary production, in which organisms create organic material from inorganic materials through autotrophy; and secondary production, in which organic material is created from other organic material through heterotrophy.

What is secondary productivity?
secondary production is the conversion of raw materials to finished products. this is the second stage of production.
Are primary consumers or secondary consumers the largest part of the ecosystem?
The largest parts of an ecosystem is the primary consumers. The ecosystem could hold more of a body size of primary consumers as opposed to secondary consumers.
Which marine ecosystem has the fewest available nutrients and the lowest productivity?
open oceans
