Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following factors limits the productivity of aquatic ecosystem. Remember that this word, productivity usually means energy production. So in aquatic ecosystems, we have many organisms that produce energy. One of them we can say that it is cyanobacteria or other types of bacteria and this bacteria undergo photosynthesis. So what do we need for this process? Will we need certain nutrients such as water, oxygen and sunlight in order to undergo this process?
