The rate of biomass production per unit area, over a time period by plant during photosynthesis is called productivity.
- It is expressed (kcal m-2)yr-1or g/m2/yr or g m-2y-1.
- The amount of biomass or organic matter produced per unit area over a time period in plants during photosynthesis is called primary production.
| * It is the rate of production of organic matter during photosynthesis in an ecosystem. | * It is the weight of the organic matter stored by the produces in a unit area/volume per unit time. |
| * Some of GPP is utilized in respiration. |
