Gross primary productivity

Vedclass · Answer

(D) In any ecosystem,the total amount of organic matter produced by producers through photosynthesis is known as Gross Primary Productivity $(GPP)$.Net Primary Productivity $(NPP)$ is the amount of biomass available to consumers after accounting for the energy lost by producers during respiration $(R)$.The relationship is defined as: $NPP = GPP - R$.Since $GPP$ represents the total energy captured before any losses,it is always higher than $NPP$ or any other form of productivity in an ecosystem.

List-$I$ (Process)	List-$II$ (Definition)
$A$. Productivity	$I$. Gross primary productivity minus respiration losses
$B$. Net primary productivity	$II$. Rate of formation of new organic matter by consumers
$C$. Gross primary productivity	$III$. Rate of biomass production
$D$. Secondary productivity	$IV$. Rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis

In a grassland ecosystem,which productivity $(g/m^2/yr)$ is the highest?
