Question

Suppose that the net primary productivity of a particular ecosystem is 100 units per year. The respiration rate of primary producers is 35 units per year, and the respiration rate of herbivores is 15 units per year. The gross primary productivity is ____units per year. a. 35 b. 50 c. 135 d. 150 Suppose that the Net Ecosystem Exchange of an Eastern deciduous forest ecosystem is 100 units per month. The respiration by autotrophs is 50 units per month, and the respiration by heterotrophs is 30 units per month. What is the net primary production of the forest? (just give the value, no units)

Step 1

It is calculated by subtracting the respiration rate of primary producers from the gross primary productivity (GPP). Given: Net primary productivity (NPP) = 100 units per year Respiration rate of primary producers = 35 units per year Show more…
