Primary productivity Gross primary production Net Primary Production 2.1 Primary Productivity: The rate at which radiant energy is stored by photosynthetic activity of green plants and algae in the form of organic substance is termed as primary productivity, because it is the first and most basic form of energy stored in the ecosystem. In other words, it's the rate at which energy is stored as biomass by plants or other primary producers and made available to the consumers in the ecosystem. Record the data in the table and calculate the net primary productivity (NPP) using the following formula: NPP = (Biomass/Area)/Day. 9. . 0000186510 00000 n
dividing the biomass of the grass clippings by the area of the opening of the bottle by the amount of days the grass was allowed to grow. The threat of global climate change is only exacerbated by the fact that more "carbon dioxide is being. Allow grass to continue to grow for 6 days. For example, the fact that the sun was not used as the energy source for the plants, and that students were responsible for watering their plants every other day, could have resulted in a significantly lower NPP. The net effect is net primary productivity (NPP). Meanwhile, it takes more than a multifactor productivity formula to calculate the overall productivity of a company. 0000012472 00000 n
Net primary productivity is dependent on various factors such as temperature, nutrient availability, humidity, sunlight, etc. You can also use the formula below to calculate the net primary productivity since the difference between the light bottle DO and the initial DO is essentially the same algebraic expression as GPP minus respiration rate. h�b```a``;������ Ā B�@Q�=�������ĀNOt�M�e�/}��e�&���z#T�b`�R��j��d�*�40� ��P0� 1�2J@��ڃd�130H30�a����dŘ�p�!�!���_�o!o5_�/��m�gg2�ax�x�!�� ��9��|�\=�{�16'L����������q�oF^��ӭ">1�ސg�a���������S�fb`���e`�X��x'@� ��E�
