Researchers measured production and respiration in a field of wheat over one growing season. They determined the daily gross primary production to be 11.5 g m 2 d of carbon; the net ecosystem production to be 4.8 g m2 d1; and the autotrophic respiration to be 4.3 g m2 d. What would be the estimate for daily heterotrophic respiration in this system?
