Gross Primary Production in the ecosystem (GPP) = 17,500 kcal/m2
Energy used for respiration (R) = 8500 kcal/m2
Net Primary Production (NPP) is equal to the difference between Gross Primary Production and Energy used for respiration
NPP = GPP - R
= 17,500 kcal/m2 - 8500 kcal/m2
= 9000 kcal/m2
therefore, Net Primary Production (NPP) in the ecosystem is 9000 kcal/m2
Hey marsh ecosystem has a gross primary production of 17,500 KCAL/m2 per year if the energy...
Explain how annual net ecosystem production can vary considerably from year-to-year while gross primary production and ecosystem respiration are relatively less variable.
Consider the energy used by the primary consumers katydids and planthoppers. 3507 323.5 = planthoppers = katydids 275.0 205.0 energy (kcal / m2 / year) 994 70.0 70.0 48.5 29.4 18.6 10.8 consumption assimilation production respiration feces 1. What happens to the energy that is consumed but not assimilated? 2. Of the energy that is assimilated, what percentage of it goes to growth? Calculate the answer for both planthoppers and katydids. Show your work. 3. What happens to the energy...
NPP = GPP – R Net primary production = ______________ = GPP – energy used for cellular respiration Gross primary production = ________________ production of primary producers Respiration = ______________________ Thus NPP is the amount of energy available to primary consumers = primary production Explain the different ways in which primary production is influenced in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems Primary production: terrestrial ecosystems influenced by water, temperature, and nutrient availability Evapotranspiration rate measures the amount of water entering the atmosphere...
1. 1. The primary energy savings in tep (1 MWh -0.086 tep) and diesel, which involves the direct use of heat from a geothermal resource to cover a heat demand of 100 kW for 3,500 h / year, assuming that this demand will be covered with diesel boiler of average yield 0.8 (for diesel 1.12 tep/ton gas oil), they are: a) 30.1 tep/year, 26.9 ton/year b) 37.6 tep/year, 33.6 ton/year c)41.2 tep/year, 36.8 ton /year 1. 2. A hydraulic pump...

please help Question 23 (1 point) Which observation is NOT explained by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis In the interior of an old forest a low number of K-type species dominate the community Species evenness is larger when disturbances are extremely frequent Species richness increases immediately after a disturbance such as a fire, but may decrease later In beach dune environments, a low number of r-type species dominate the community Question 24 (1 point) Some birds follow moving swarms of army...
