What ecosystem contributes most to global net primary productivity?
In terms of NPP per unit area, the most productive systems are estuaries, swamps and marshes, tropical rain forests, and temperate rain forests
What biome has the highest primary production in terrestrial ecosystems?
Tropical rain forests have the highest primary productivity of any ecosystem on the planet.
In which natural ecosystem do nutrients cycle the fastest and which is the slowest?
in tropical rain forest the climate is warm and moist, increasing the rate of decomposition
What is a tropical has winds between 40 and 73 miles per hour?
Yes. A tropical storm has sustained winds of 39-73mph.

What limits primary productivity in tropical oceans?
Nutrients are in deeper (colder) waters while light is in surface waters.
What is the locality of plant neem?

plants
How does the tropical rainforests nutrients cycle work?
stupid
Do Tropical soils contain lots of nutrients?
No, they do not. They are "old soils" and contain very few nutrients.
What is the biome that get most of the nutrients in the world?
the answer is tropical rain forest

Where are Most of the nutrients located in a tropical rain forest?
plants
Why are many tropical soils poor in nutrients?
heavy rains in this climate zone can remove, or leach, nutrients from the topsoil.
What is tropical sprue?
Sprue-- A disorder of impaired absorption of nutrients from the diet by the small intestine (malabsorption), resulting in malnutrition. tropical sprue.occurs mainly in tropical regions
Why is cold water murky and warm tropical water clear?
Cold water is murky because it is nutrient-rich. The nutrient-rich cold waters harbor the minerals that provide the food chain for marine life beginning with the phytoplanktons (microscopic plant-like organisms). The phytoplankton depend on the nutrients and minerals in cold water to live. Phytoplanktons are the beginning of the food chain for a majority of aquatic life. Phytoplankton in large numbers produce the green-color on the surface of colder waters. Tropical waters are warm and nutrient deficient. Tropical waters are essentially a desert sea. The lack of nutrients produces clear water. Also of note -- the lack of nutrients precludes the development of phytoplantons; therefore, tropical waters lack the abundance of marine life that colder waters provide. Tropical marine life primarily survive off the reefs.
