Planting 500 new trees would increase the amount of photosynthetic organisms in the area, ultimately increasing the net primary productivity. Adding fertilizer would also increase productivity but only if applied judiciously in appropriate areas. Introducing rabbits and relocating deer could have negative impacts on the ecosystem and disrupt the natural balance, ultimately reducing the net primary productivity.
