Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical forests have the highest biodiversity and primary productivity of any of the terrestrial biomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Tropical Rainforests, water, sunlight, and high temperatures are consistent and a dense concentration of plants is present, causing both the GPP and NPP to be very high. So, high levels of productivity increase biomass.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical forests are among the most productive ecosystems on the Earth, estimated to account for about one-third of global net primary productivity (NPP) [1, 2], but have been relatively under-sampled compared with their importance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The most productive type of biome is the tropical rainforest biome. This biome has high levels of rainfall and warm temperatures year-round, which means that plants can continue to grow all year.
