State the relationship between gross primary productivity (GPP) and net productivity (NPP) in plants?
NPP = GPP – plant respiration
Productivity of a plant is the rate at which energy is stored in plant in form of organic substances for photosynthesis
- Gross productivity (GPP) is the rate at which chemical energy derived from photosynthesis is stored by the plant.
- Net productivity (NPP) is the net gains of organic materials in photosynthesis allowing for the losses due to respiration.
- Thus, NPP = GPP – losses due to respiration
