What is the net primary productivity? The total productivity of one ecosystem through all trophic levels The total rate of photosynthesis in an ecosystem The rate at which energy is stored as organic matter by primary producers (after deducting respiration) An individual's lifetime reproductive success The average reproduction of an individual in one year (after correcting for predation and other causes of mortality)

'Net primary productivity is the primary productivity of an ecosystem, after subtracting energy lost in inedible plant tissues respiration by primary producers. dead plant tissues_ respiration by primary consumers: inefficiencies of photosynthesis'
Adi S.
Net primary productivity is best defined as: Multiple Choice The total amount of biomass created by producers The total amount of biomass created by producers after energy loss to metabolism is factored The total biomass of producers in the water in a given habitat The total biomass of producers in the ocean None of the above
Sri K.
When the Net Primary Productivity was measured in the presented graph, what was included in those measurements? a. Above and underground biomass are included in net primary productivity. b. Net primary productivity is the total amount of carbon fixed. c. Net primary productivity is the amount of carbon fixed minus the amount used during cellular respiration and includes only the aboveground biomass in terrestrial biomes. d. Net primary productivity refers to the amount of total amount of carbon fixed.
