Hello everyone. And in today's video we have to follow in problem which of the following is considered to have the highest net primary productivity from all answer choices given. And before we jump into this problem, let us quickly recall what this net primary productivity or MPP really means. And it's nothing more than the difference between the energy fixed by auto troughs and the energy they spend on respiration and a simpler way to look at this is that the more water or the more temperature or the more favorable the conditions are for vegetation than the highest net primary productivity that they are going to have. And looking at our answer choices here. The answer choice that contains the most vegetation really on the high amount of biodiversity is going to be these rainforests or this tropical rainforests and the reason why they have so much vegetation is that they have the perfect temperatures, the perfect amount of rainfall and just the perfect conditions for these autotrophs, these producers to output the most energy that they can. And so that is going to be or final answer for the biodome with the highest net primary productivity from the answer choices given and this is the end of the video. I really hope it helped you and I hope to see you on the next one
