How do phytoplankton affect the ecosystem of the entire earth?
Phytoplankton affects the ecosystem of the entire earth in the sense that phytoplankton is at the very top level of the food chain. Fish and whales eat phytoplankton for energy and then we eat fish for energy.
What are producers in a marine ecosystem?
Phytoplankton (microalgae), seaweeds (macroalgae) and chemoautotrophic bacteria in order of declining importance.
What organisms do zooplankton feed on in a freshwater ecosystem?
phytoplankton
Why high phytoplankton biomass present in marine ecosystem?
i do no
Is phytoplankton a producer carnivore herbivore or omnivore?
They are primary producers in an estuarine ecosystem.

What traits of an ecosystem does primary productivity measure?
The rate at which the ecosystem produces chemical energy from sunlight.
The amount of organic material that the autotrophic organisms of an ecosystem produce?
primary productivity.
Secondary productivity in an ecosystem?
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.
A physical factor that influences an ecosystem is called an?
Abiotic factors
Which marine ecosystem has the fewest available nutrients and the lowest productivity?
open oceans
