A research team measures net primary productivity (NPP) in three ecosystems over 20 years. Ecosystem A is a mature tropical rainforest with 400 tonnes of biomass per hectare, where growth is balanced by decay. Ecosystem B is a newly planted mangrove forest with rapid shoot and root growth but lower total biomass. Ecosystem C is a peat swamp where waterlogged, anaerobic conditions severely limit decomposition. Which ecosystem most likely has the highest NPP?
