Create a bar graph that ranks the given ecosystems from least productive to most productive. Title your graph, label each axis, label each bar, and provide units of measurement. Use the data in the table below showing net primary productivity of major ecosystems of the world: Ecosystem Net Primary Productivity (kcal/m2/yr) coniferous forests 3,500 deciduous forests 6,000 deserts 500 estuaries 9,000 freshwater ecosystems 2,000 grasslands 2,500 oceans 1,000 swamps 9,000 tropical rain forests 9,000 tundra 750
You are studying primary productivity and biodiversity patterns of an ecosystem. The ecosystem is represented by the climatograph below. The Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is measured to be 5000 grams of carbon per square meter per year, and the Total Respiration (RT) is measured to be 300 grams of carbon per square meter per year. - What kind of biome is this? - Calculate the Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) for this ecosystem - What does the calculated NEP value indicate about the carbon balance and overall productivity of the ecosystem? (one sentence) - Based on both the climatograph and the NEP, what can you say about the biodiversity of plants versus consumers? Choice 1 of 4:plant biodiversity is greater than consumer biodiversity Choice 2 of 4:consumer biodiversity is greater than plant biodiversity Choice 3 of 4:consumer biodiversity is the same as plant biodiversity Choice 4 of 4:lower plant biodiversity compared to consumer biodiversity
If 1,000 Joules of energy are present in the primary consumer trophic level of a community, approximately how many Joules might be expected to be present in the primary producer trophic level? Group of answer choices Which of these answers is most likely depends on the particular community 10,000 Joules 100 Joules 1000 Joules
A pyramid of biomass shows the mass of all of the organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem . Look at the biomass pyramid to the right . Based on the data shown , how many kilograms of plant matter would be needed to support the other trophic levels in this ecosystem ?
The Jena experiment tested the effects of plant species richness on the ecosystem function of various grassland areas over a 15-year timespan. Ecosystem function was determined by measuring the biomass, soil characteristics, types, and numbers of producers and consumers in the area, and tested to determine the strength of the biodiversity effect on the ecosystem. The graphs show the ecosystem function at the onset of the experiment (dotted line) versus the ecosystem function at the end of the 15-year experiment (solid line) in four different test sites (A, B, C, and D).
