In plant succession, when climax community is reached, the net productivity
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
In plant succession, ecosystems gradually move from pioneer stages to a climax community.
• At climax, the ecosystem reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium.
• Gross primary productivity (GPP) and community respiration (R) balance each other.
• Therefore, net productivity (NPP = GPP – R) becomes stable, not zero or continuously increasing.
