Use the equations below to answer the following problems: Net Primary Productivity = Gross Productivity – Respiration Loss Efficiency = . NPP . X 100 Insolation Energy In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.012 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 20 percent. One gram of rice is equivalent to 1000 calories. Calculate the net primary productivity of the rice. Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice. Could you mostly help me set it up and find it? So I can learn how to do it.arrow_forward

Despite the intensity of the fire, some soils remained. Total biomass, species richness, and net productivity were reduced significantly after the initial disturbance. There have not been any more fires since. Twenty years after the fire, there are medium-sized trees and bushes growing, as well as ferns and flowering plants. The forest is in the middle, or intermediate, stage of succession. How has the current stage of succession affected total biomass, species richness, and net productivity of the ecosystem? O Total biomass remained the same, species richness decreased, net productivity remained the same O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net productivity decreased O Total biomass increased, species richness increased, net…arrow_forward
