"The gross primary productivity of a meadow in southeastern Kansas is found to be 38,000 kcal/m 2 . Respiration which is measured by the amount of CO 2 released is 13,500 kcal/m 2 , what is the net primary productivity for this ecosystem, in kcal/m 2 per year

Net primary productivity = 24,500 kcal/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Gross primary productivity = 38,000 kcal/m²

Respiration amount = 13,500 kcal/m²

Find:

Net primary productivity

Computation:

Net primary productivity = Gross primary productivity - Respiration amount

Net primary productivity = 38,000 - 13,500

Net primary productivity = 24,500 kcal/m²

the form of energy changes and the total energy increases0l

answer: blah
