Question:
Which of the following is the unit of productivity of an Ecosystem?
Which of the following is the unit of productivity of an Ecosystem?
Show Hint
Productivity = kcal/m$^2$/yr.
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- KCal m$^{-2}$
- KCal m$^{-2}$ yr$^{-1}$
- (KCal m$^{-2}$) yr$^{-1}$
- gm$^{-2}$ yr$^{-1}$
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Productivity is the rate of biomass production, expressed as energy (kcal) per unit area (m$^2$) per unit time (yr$^{-1}$).
