PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY: PHOTOSYNTHESIS NPP = GPP – Respiration Fig. 9.4.

The world's ecosystems vary tremendously in productivity. In terms of NPP per unit area, the most productive systems are estuaries, swamps and marshes, tropical rain forests, and temperate rain forests http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1.html To calcualte the total amount of NPP in the world, these values must be multiplied by the area that the various ecosystems occupy. The most productive systems are open oceans, tropical rain forests, savannas, and tropical seasonal forests

Importance of dissolved oxygen in aquatic systems Affect the distribution of aerobic heterotrophic life Impacts the solubility of phosphorus and other nutrients Influences redox potential (Ch. 10) and thus the solubility of redox-sensitive materials May be used to estimate ecosystem productivity

Photo-inhibition

Productivity may be measured in units of mgC volume-1 time-1 Because it takes two moles of O2 to fix 1 mole of C, productivity may also be measured in units of mgO2 volume-1 time-1 CO2 + H2O CH2O + O2 Ratio of moles of C to moles of oxygen = 12/32 = 0.375; i.o.w. 1 mg O2 produced = 0.375 mg C fixed Examples of productivity measurement techniques: Light - dark bottles Diel cycles in oxygen levels 14C uptake
