Summary Introduction

To explain:

The swamps exhibit higher primary productivity in comparison to the open oceans.

Introduction:

Primary productivity in ecology refers to the production of organic components from aqueous carbon dioxide or atmosphere. It mainly takes place via the procedure of photosynthesis that utilizes light as its source of energy; however, it also takes place via chemosynthesis. The species accountable for primary production are called autotrophs, or primary producers, and produce the base of the food chain. Usually, marshes and swamps have the maximum primary productivity of all the world’s ecosystems.
