estimate the total primary production in the oceans (in million metric tons carbon) using the following information - 92% of oceans are open ocen with an average productivity of 125 gC/m2/yr - 8% of the oceans are coastal, with an average productivity of 2,000 gC/m2/yr - remember a metric ton is 1,000 Kg

A family travels from New York City to Costa Rica three times a year for a vacation. The family would like to purchase some forested land in the Catskills, keeping the trees intact as an offset to the carbon dioxide they produce travelling each year. How much forest must they purchase? Use the following assumptions to measure the carbon offset provided by this intact forest. • The biomass of the forest increases at an annual rate of 2.8 × 105 kg/ha. • The forest biomass is 45% carbon by mass. • There are four people in the family. • 0.2 kg of CO2 is produced each mile per person on the flight. • The round-trip distance is 4,500 miles. • There are 2.47 acres in one hectare. 1. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is accumulated and stored in 1.0 ha of this forest in one year. 2. Calculate the mass of carbon, in kilograms, that is emitted by the family as a result of their round-trip flights to Costa Rica each year. 3. Calculate the number of acres of forest that must be…
AP Environmental Science Primary Productivity Problems Net Primary Productivity efficiency can be calculated for terrestrial producers when values for insolation energy, respiration loss and gross productivity are known. 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.
Earth has a total of 11.9 billion gha of productive land. How many people could Earth supportsustainably if the average ecological footprint were 8 gha per person (as in the United States)?
The carbon footprint is the amount of GHG produced from an activity or a product. What would be the carbon footprint of a power plant producing electricity from coal. Calculate the GHG emission of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced. Assume the energy efficiency of the power plant as 38% and the heating value of coal as 4500 Kcal/Kg. Assume coal is 50% carbon. The answer you will get is also known as the emission factor for a coal power plant.

And answer the question that follow 1What is/are the producer(s) in the food web? 2What organism(s) feed directly on plants? 3What is/are the secondary consumer(s) in the food web? 4What is/are the tertiary consumer(s) in the food web?
An estimated 1000 kg of plant plankton are needed to produce 100 kg of animal plankton. The animal plankton is in turned consumed by 10 kg of fish, the amount needed by a person to gain 1 kg of body mass. i) explain why the amount of biomass declines at each successive trophic level.
What is the range of values for percentage of emissions from transport of food to retailers (delivery)? Weber and Mathews found that 83% of food’s total emissions came from its production process on the farm or feedlot. What do these numbers tell you about how you might best reduce your own footprint with regard to food?
