Introductory Biology
What is gross primary productivity (GPP) in an ecosystem?
Given an ecosystem where a primary producer has a GPP of 6000 kJ/m²/year and respiration losses of 1500 kJ/m²/year, calculate the net primary productivity (NPP).
If a herbivore consumes 2000 kJ of energy and 500 kJ is stored as biomass, what is its net production efficiency (NPE)?
If the energy at the primary producer level is 10,000 kcal and the energy at the primary consumer level is 1,000 kcal, what is the trophic efficiency?
