Unveiling the Intricate Connection: Exploring the Interplay Between Net Primary Productivity and Emergy in Earth’s Nutrient Cycles
Wildlife & Biology1. Understanding Net Primary Productivity (NPP) Net Primary Productivity (NPP) is a fundamental concept in ecology and earth science that measures the amount of energy captured by plants through photosynthesis minus the energy used by plants through respiration. NPP represents the net production of organic matter by autotrophic organisms and serves as a key indicator
