Apart from bacteria, the total global live biomass has been estimated as 550 or 560 billion tonnes C, most of which is found in forests. Shallow aquatic environments, such as wetlands, estuaries and coral reefs, can be as productive as forests, generating similar amounts of new biomass each year on a given area.
