Document Summary
Ecosystem: a particular location on earth distinguished by its particular mix of interacting biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components. Solar e + 6 h20 + 6 c02 c6h1206 + 6 02: respiration. Energy + 6 h20 + 6 co2 c6h12o6 + 6 o2. All organisms, including producers, carry out respiration, but only producers ar capable of photosynthesis. Tophat. com: needed for photosynthesis water, solar energy and carbon dioxide. Gross primary productivity (gpp): the total amount of solar energy that the producers in an ecosystem capture via photosynthesis over given amount of time. Net primary productivity (npp): the energy captured (gpp) minus the energy respired by producers. Biomass: the mass off living biological organism in a given place or ecosystem at a given time. Ecological efficiency: the proportion of consumed energy that can be passed from one trophic level to another. Tophat. com: a forest has a gpp of 3. 8 kg c/m2/year and the rate of cellular respiration is 2. 4 kg.
