In an ecosystem if the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of first trophic level is 100x (kcal m–2) yr–1, what would be the GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) of the third trophic level of the same ecosystem?
- \(\frac{x}{10}\left(\mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{H}^{-1}\)
- \(x\left(\mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\)
- \(10 x\left(\mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{h}^{-1}\)
- \(\frac{100 x}{3 x}\left(\mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\right) \mathrm{yr}^{-1}\)
Answer
(A) x 10 ( kcal ~m ^ -2 ) H ^ -1
