A young forest, a natural old forest, a shallow polluted lake, and alpine meadow.

Answers (1)

A young forest will have a lower tree density and thus, lower primary productivity. Shallow polluted lake may also have a lower density of flora due to toxicity from pollution. An Alpine meadow is full of grass and thus, a lower tree density.

A natural old forest can be considered a community which has reached climax. It must have a higher tree density and thus a higher level of primary productivity compared to a young forest, a shallow polluted lake, or an alpine meadow.
