Primary production is the amount of light energy converted to chemical energy (organic compounds) during a given time period Ecosystems

Primary production is the amount of light energy converted to chemical energy (organic compounds) during a given time period. Ecosystems

Gross primary production (GPP) is the amount of light energy converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis per unit time. Ecosystems

Net primary production (NPP) is equal to GPP minus the energy used by the primary producers for respiration (R) NPP = GPP – R Ecosystems

Net primary production (NPP) is equal to GPP minus the energy used by the primary producers for respiration (R) NPP = GPP – R Ecosystems IMPORTANT

time Ecosystems dissolved oxygen Production can be determined by measuring oxygen production

time Ecosystems dissolved oxygen Initial oxygen level

time Ecosystems dissolved oxygen Change in oxygen level in the light

GPP can be measured in: EnergyJ/m 2 /yr Biomass g/m 2 /yr Ecosystems

GPP can be measured in: EnergyJ/m 2 /yr Biomass g/m 2 /yr Biomass is dry weight and includes only new mass. Ecosystems

Limitations on primary production: Light Nutrients (N, P, Fe) Ecosystems

Limitations on primary production: Light Nutrients (N, P, Fe) Iron is important for cyanobacteria, and cyanobacteria fix nitrogen in the oceans Ecosystems
