producers and decomposers

benthic ocean

NPP represents the stored chemical energy that is available to consumers in the ecosystem.

Fish can potentially provide more food for humans than seal meat.

zooplankton - primary producer

Satellites compare the wavelengths of light captured and reflected by photoautotrophs in different ecosystems.

Decomposition rate would decrease and NEP would increase.

4%

mammals, fish, insects

Top-level predators are destined to have small populations that are sparsely distributed

The answer is most likely a combination of the other responses.

the rate of decomposition in the ecosystem

tertiary consumer level

nitrogen fixation by bacteria
