Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Productivity: (III) Rate of biomass production (The basic definition).
Net primary productivity: (1) GPP minus respiration losses (The actual biomass available to consumers).
Gross primary productivity: (IV) Rate of production during photosynthesis (Total energy captured by plants).
Secondary productivity: (II) Rate of formation by consumers (Biomass produced by herbivores/carnivores).
