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.
