उत्तर
Oceans are the least productive because
- There is insufficient radiation as sunlight decreases with the increasing depth of the ocean.
- Oceans are nitrogen deficient which is an important nutrient for plants.
- Conditions oi high salinity which is not favourable for all plants.
- There is no substratum to support plants.
