NPP = GPP – R
Net primary production =
______________
= GPP – energy used for cellular respiration
Gross primary production = ________________ production of
primary producers
Respiration = ______________________
Thus NPP is the amount of energy available to primary
consumers = primary production
Explain the different ways in which primary production is
influenced in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
Primary production: terrestrial
ecosystems influenced by water, temperature, and
nutrient availability
Evapotranspiration rate measures the amount of
water entering the atmosphere...
