State how Net Secondary Productivityl llk( ;y6ad/dqlbb 29uh5ci ty9q92so3b awea 4+e:s (NSP) can be calculated.
A. NSP = GPP - R
B. NSP = food eaten - fecal loss
C. NSP = GPP + R
D. NSP = GSP - R
参考答案: D
本题详细解析:
Net secondary productivity = Gross Secondary Productivity – Respirationk,s*j6fa+ode(xwv - ia; p;v n
The organisms lose some energy at the secondary level as heat by respiration and therefore NSP is less than GSP.
Option A is wrong because GPP - R will give a value for NPP, net primary productivity, energy or biomass available at the level of the producers for the primary consumers.
Option B is wrong because GSP = food eaten – fecal loss. This is the energy or biomass taken up by consumers from producers before losses due to respiration.
Option C is wrong, net secondary productivity is obtained by removing losses for respiration from gross secondary productivity.
