ReplyDeletenumber 8 what actually is NPP?
the question reads list threerreasons why temp. and salinity ary widely in estuaries and coastal wetlands, and explain why they have such a high NPP.
( NPP = net primary productivity.
Gross primary production (GPP) is the rate at which an ecosystem's producers capture and store a given amount of chemical energy as biomass in a given length of time. Some fraction of this fixed energy is used by primary producers for cellular respiration and maintenance of existing tissues. The remaining fixed energy is referred to as net primary production (NPP).
Definition:
NPP = GPP - respiration
Net primary production is the rate at which all the plants in an ecosystem produce net useful chemical energy; it is equal to the difference between the rate at which the plants in an ecosystem produce useful chemical energy (GPP) and the rate at which they use some of that energy through cellular respiration. Some net primary production goes toward growth and reproduction of primary producers, while some is consumed by herbivores.
Haven't gotten Chapter 8 ready yet.....don't panic. my fault not yours.
ReplyDeleteDo we just turn in chapter 7 by tonight??
