What is the difference between net productivity and gross productivity?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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

User Avatar

Asked by Dihaf

The use of pesticides is very effective in preventing and killing pests that may potentially cause damage to crops.

However, almost all pesticides cause air, water or soil pollution.
