a) Draw a pyramid of productivity for this data. (answered in photo) NO NEED FOR ANSWER

b) Calculate GSP for each of the trophic levels indicated above. ANSWERED. NO NEED FOR ANSWER

Producers:

NSP=GSP- RESPIRATION

GSP=NSP + RESPIRATION

GSP=36922+50062

GSP=  86984

 

Herbivores:

GSP=NSP + RESPIRATION

GSP=6178+7900

GSP=  15078

Carnivores:

GSP=NSP + RESPIRATION

GSP=1321+280

GSP= 1601

Top carnivores:

GSP=NSP + RESPIRATION

GSP=63+25

GSP=88

c) Identify what information is unaccounted for in the data and outline how this is important to determining the productivity of a consumer. 

d) Explain why pyramids of productivity must always be upright and cannot be inverted
