introduction Standing crop ( 現存量 ) Biomass ( 生物質量 ) Primary productivity ( 基礎 ( 初級 ) 生產力 ) Gross primary productivity( 粗基礎生產力 ) Net primary productivity( 淨基礎生產力 ) Secondary productivity( 二級生產力 )

4 Historical landmarks A classic paper by Lindeman (1942) laid the foundations of a science of ecological energetics ( 生態能量學 ). He attempted to quantify the concept of food chains and food webs by considering the efficiency of transfer between trophic level- from incident radiation received by a community through its capture by green plants in photosynthesis to its subsequent use by bacteria, fungi and animals. Lindeman’s paper was a major catalyst that stimulated the International Biological Programme (IBP). The subject of the IBP was ‘the biological basis of productivity and human welfare’.

5 Recently, deforestation, the burning of fossil fuels and other human influences are causing dramatic changes to global climate and atmospheric composition, and can be expected in turn to influence patterns of productivity and the composition of vegetation on a global scale. The International Geosphere -Bioshpere Programme (IGBP), established in the early 1990s, was to predict the effects of changes in climate and atmospheric composition on agriculture and food production.

6 The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN 1.A likely decline in precipitation in some food- insecure areas such as southern Africa and the northern region of Latin America. 2.Changes in seasonal distribution of rainfall, with less falling in the main crop-growing season 3.Higher night-time temperatures, which may adversely affect grain production 4.Disruption of food supply through more frequent and severe extreme weather events.

primary productivity

8 Fig Photosynthetic efficiency for three sets of terrestrial communities in the US. Desert ecosystems receive the greatest levels of radiation, but are much less efficient than forests in converting it to biomass.

9 Fig (a) above-ground net primary productivity (NPP) of grass in savanna regions of the world in relation to annual rainfall.

10 Fig (b) total NPP in relation to both annual precipitation and temperature on the Tibetan Plateau for ecosystems including forests, woodlands, shrublands, grasslands and desert.

11 Fig seasonal development of maximum daily gross primary productivity (GPP) for confer forests in temperate locations. Daily GPP is expressed as the percentage of the maximum achieved in each forest during the 365 days of the year.

12 Fig seasonal development of maximum daily gross primary productivity (GPP) for confer forests in boreal locations. Daily GPP is expressed as the percentage of the maximum achieved in each forest during the 365 days of the year.

13 Fig (a) the relationship between gross primary productivity (GPP) of phytoplankton and phosphorus concentration in some Canadian lakes.

14 Fig (b) a location associated with ocean upwelling (c) a location where nutrient concentrations are much lower.

16 Fig the relationship between primary and secondary productivity for (c) caterpillars in relation to a histogram of annual rainfall on the Galapos island of Daphne Major.

17 Energy transfer efficiencies Consumption efficiency (CE) –The CE of herbivores are approximately 5% in forests, 25% in grasslands and 50% in phytoplankton-dominated communities. –Vertebrate carnivores may consume % of production from vertebrate prey but perhaps only 5% from invertebrate prey, while invertebrate predators consume perhaps 25% of available invertebrate prey production.

18 Assimilation efficiency (AE) –Bacteria and fungi digest dead organic matter externally and typically absorb almost all the product (AEs of 100%) –AEs are typically low for herbivores, detritivores, and microbivores (20-50%) and high for carnivores (around 80%). –Seeds and fruits may be assimilated with efficiencies as high as 60-70%, and leaves with about 50%, while the AE for wood may be as low as 15%.

19 Production efficiency (PE) –PE varies according to the taxonomic class of the organisms concerned. –Invertebrates in general have high efficiencies (30%-40%).amongst the vertebrates, ectotherms have intermediate values for PE (around 10%), whilst endotherms, convert only 1-2% of assimilated energy into production. –Microorganisms tend to have very high PEs.

20 Overall trophic transfer efficiency –= CE x AE x PE –It was generally assumed that trophic transfer efficiencies were around 10%; indeed some ecologists referred to a 10% law. –Transfer efficiencies varied between about 2% and 24%-- although the mean was 10.13%.

24 Fig Box plots for a range of ecosystem types showing: (a) percentage of net primary production (NPP) consumed by herbivores and (b) percentage of NPP entering the dead organic matter (DOM) compartment.

the process of decomposition Immobilization is what occurs when an inorganic nutrient element is incorporated into organic form, primarily during the growth of green plants; for example, when CO2 becomes incorporated into a plant’s carbohydrates. Decomposition involves the release of energy and the mineralization of chemical nutrients– the conversion of elements from organic back to an inorganic form. –Bacteria and fungi are early colonists of newly dead material.
