The net primary productivity for a temperate forest was measured as 2,000 mg c/m2/day. the respiratory rate of the community was determined to be 1,000 mg c/m2/day. what is the gross primary productivity for this community?
The general formula for calculating the net value is this net = gross - deductions The deduction is the respiratory rate The net primary productivity is given Solving for the gross primary productivity gross = 2000 + 1000 gross = 3000 mg c/m2/day
