Secondary productivity in an ecosystem can be defined as:
1. | The amount of chemical energy, typically expressed as carbon biomass, that primary producers create in a given length of time. |
2. | The rate at which all the autotrophs in an ecosystem produce net useful chemical energy. |
3. | The rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers. |
4. | The amount of energy released by the action of detritivores and decomposers in an ecosystem. |
