Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary producers in a grassland ecosystem are the grasses themselves, along with other green plants such as forbs and shrubs. Therefore, the majority of the biomass in a grassland is found in these green plants. While animals also play an important role in the grassland ecosystem, their biomass is typically much lower than that of the primary producers. Soil does contain a significant amount of organic matter, but this typically makes up a smaller portion of the total biomass than the green plants. The atmosphere and water do not contain significant biomass in a grassland ecosystem.
