nettoperustuotantoon
Nettoperustuotantoon refers to the net primary production (NPP) within an ecosystem. NPP is the rate at which producers, such as plants and algae, convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis, minus the amount of energy they use for their own respiration. In simpler terms, it is the amount of organic matter that is available to higher trophic levels in a food chain.
The calculation of nettoperustuotantoon is crucial for understanding the productivity and energy flow of an ecosystem.
Different ecosystems exhibit varying levels of nettoperustuotantoon. Tropical rainforests, for instance, are known for their very
