Question:
How will you calculate the net primary productivity(NPP)?
Options:
R-GPP=NPP
GPP-R=NPP
NPP=R-GPP
None of these.
Correct Answer:
GPP-R=NPP
Explanation:
Gross primary productivity minus respiration losses (R), is the net primary productivity (NPP). GPP – R = NPP Net primary productivity is the available biomass for the consumption to heterotrophs (herbiviores and decomposers).
