The world's ecosystems vary tremendously in productivity, as illustrated in the following figures.  In terms of NPP per unit area, the most productive systems are estuaries, swamps and marshes, tropical rain forests, and temperate rain forests.



If we wish to know the total amount of NPP in the world, we must multiply these values by the area that the various ecosystems occupy. In doing that, we find that now the most productive systems are open oceans, tropical rain forests, savannas, and tropical seasonal forests.
