How are gross and net primary productivity of a community related?
Gross Primary Productivity- Total amount of chemical energy stored by photosynthesis. Net Primary Productivity- Remaining energy, which is available to the consumers as food.
What is the difference between gross primary productivity and net primary productivity?
Gross primary production consists of the amount of light energy that is converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis per unit of time. This chemical energy is going to two places-- respiration and growth of new biomass. Net primary production omits the energy used in respiration... just the energy going to new plant growth. Mathematically: (R = respiration) NPP = GPR - R
