Gross productivity was measured at 100g/day while net productivity was 70g/day. Additionally, 4g of dry organic matter was produced per quarter meter squared per day. The respiration rate was calculated to be 8g, using the formula that gross productivity minus net productivity equals respiration. The document also discusses calculating P/B ratios and defines autotrophs as only producers and heterotrophs as only consumers.

A) Gross productivity: 100g/day and Net prodctivity: 70 g/day
B) A total amount of 4g of dry organic matter per quarter meters per day. C)The respiration rate is 8 g, as GP 10 – NP 2= 8 • Complete these statements: 1. The concept of autothrohs refers only to producers. 2. The concept of heterothrophs refers only to consumers. 3. To calculate the biomass of a trophic level, you must add the respiration rate,R, and the primary productivity, P. 4. The rate at which consumers incorporate organic matter into their bodies is called feeding. 5. The rate at which producers produce food for primary consumers is called external energy source. D) Calculating the P/B ratio: I think this yearly increase is caused by the tree`s gross productivity,as the biomass has increased.
