Answer #1

Yes, in comparing with the forest community and the Phytoplankton community, in forest the net productivity goes to grazer is less than in phytoplankton community because in water all the zooplanktons and some small fishes directly depends on primarily phytoplanktons only.

In contrast, forst community formation of very large amount to the dead organic matter, so that arrow is bigger.
