Question

why is productivity low in tundra region?give any one reason ​

Answer 1

Primary Productivity. ... The arctic tundra has a relatively low rate of net primary productivity due to the barren landscapes caused by harsh cold temperatures and short growing seasons. This makes it hard for plants and vegetation to grow, thus, producing less organic substances compared to other biomes.

Answer 2

Ecosystem productivity and interaction cycles. Plant primary productivity is low on arctic tundra because of low temperatures, a short snow-free season, and low concentrations of nutrients in the soil (Callaghan et al. 2004)
