Total photosynthesis minus respiration by plants.
The part of the gross primary production that remains stored in the producer organism (primarily green plants) after deducting the amount used during the process of respiration.
Chemical energy in plants for growth and reproduction after cellular respiration. 863
The total energy converted into biomass by autotrophs. Net primary production is equal to gross primary production less energy lost in maintenance functions of autotrophs.
the increase in plant biomass or carbon of a unit of a landscape; gross primary production (all carbon fixed through photosynthesis) minus plant respiration equals net primary production
The net increase in plant biomass within a specified area and time interval, i.e. primary production minus that used in metabolic processes.
The part of the gross primary production that remains after deducting the amount released by plant (autotrophic) respiration. It is the amount of energy that is stored in plant tissues and is often expressed as the amount of carbon or dry organic matter (biomass) produced over the time period.
is the energy or biomass content of plant material that has accumulated in an ecosystem over a period of time through photosynthesis. It is the amount of energy left after subtracting the respiration of primary producers (mostly plants) from the total amount of energy (mostly solar) that is fixed biologically.
