The capacity of a forest to produce specific products (i.e. biomass, lumber) over time as influenced by the interaction of vegetative manipulation and abiotic factors (i.e. soil, climate, physiography). Net primary productivity (NPP) provides the fundamental measure of forest productivity. When measured at the point of foliar carrying capacity for all potential flora, NPP is a measure of potential site productivity. Rate of product growth, an economic component, is occasionally used as a partial measure of forest productivity.

How does productivity of a forest depends on its biodiversity?
The biodiversity of a habitat increases the odds that nutrients/materials will be circulated among all levels of life. This increased circulation increases the odds of primary producer productivity, which increases the biomass of the area as a whole.
What is the role of the forest service?
According to the U.S. Forest Service's website, the agency manages and protects national forests and grasslands with a mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of each. More information can be found on the Forest Service's website.
Why are there so many different organisms found in the rain forest?
Because rain forests have great productivity to sustain maximum biodiversity.

What do you mean when you say productivity is a relative measure?
single factor productivity and total factor productivity
What is system productivity?
system productivity is a very important function for improving productivity in any unit. we can say with the help same input using we can maximize our output or productivity
