What plant has the highest Net Primary Productivity?

I know that the regions of the planet with highest NPP are swamps and marshes on land, and regions of the ocean prone to algal blooms. So that'd be deltas and the like, I guess.

But is there any one particular plant with the highest NPP? Is it even really measurable on a species-by-species basis?
