The most common method to measure primary productivity in an ecosystem is through carbon dioxide consumption. Primary productivity refers to the rate at which photosynthetic organisms, like plants and phytoplankton, convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into organic matter. Therefore, measuring carbon dioxide uptake provides valuable information about the primary productivity of an ecosystem.
