please answer the following questions TRUE OR FALSE

1)sometimes succession occurs without any change in the species that compose a community

2) The difference between gross primary productivity and net primary productiviry is determined by the respiration of primary producers

3)The net primary productivity is usually more than 80% of gross primary productivity

4) The amount of net secondary productivity cannot exceed the amount of net primary productivity
