Primary Productivity
Of all vegetation types, tropical rainforests grow in climatic conditions that are least limiting to plant growth. It is to be expected that the growth and productivity (total amount of organic matter produced per unit area per unit time) of tropical rainforests would be higher than that of other vegetation, provided that other factors such as soil fertility or consumption by herbivorous animals are not extremely low or high. Humid in Amazon River Basin was stunned by the luxuriant growth, giant trees with huge buttresses, thick vines, plants growing on plants, and so forth. Many natural biotic factors will be present, the species and plants humans were not able to interact with. By building a tourists section in the rainforest, people can be aware of the natural beauty of the environment. This project can raise the awareness to the people about the necessity of the environment over the industry products.
Productivity
Net Productivity- 15,000 kcal/m2/yr
Primary Productivity- High primary productivity in tropical rain forests is due to the combination of climate and efficient recycling of nutrients through plant biomass.
Secondary Productivity- About 100 kcal/m2/yr
Gross Primary Productivity- The amount of carbon fixed during photosynthesis by all producers in the ecosystem. However, a large part of the harnessed energy is used up by the metabolic processes of the producers (respiration).
Net Primary Productivity- Tropical rainforests have an average Net Primary Productivity of over 8800 kcal/m2/yr (the amount of carbon not used by plants)
