A physical structure that is characteristic of each type of ecosystem is due to:
1. | Interaction between various biotic components of the ecosystem |
2. | Interaction between various abiotic components of the ecosystem |
3. | Interaction between various biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem |
4. | Interaction of producers with abiotic components of the ecosystem |
Stratification of an ecosystem means:

2. | Vertical distribution of different species occupying the same levels |
3. | Horizontal distribution of different species occupying different levels |
4. | Horizontal distribution of different species occupying the same levels |
In an ecosystem, the rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis is called as its:
1. | Gross Primary productivity |
2. | Net Primary productivity |
3. | Secondary productivity |
4. | Non productivity |
