ecosystems that rapidly convert solar energy to biomass ______.

are said to have high primary net productivity
are usually found in cold, damp climates where decomposition is slow
are said to have high secondary productivity
have little vegetation

Explanation:

Primary net productivity measures the rate at which producers (plants, algae) convert solar energy into biomass. Cold, damp climates have slow growth and low productivity. Secondary productivity refers to consumer biomass production, not solar-to-biomass conversion. Ecosystems with high solar-to-biomass conversion have abundant vegetation, not little.

Answer:

A. are said to have high primary net productivity
