Marine Primary Productivity: Measurements and Variability
site.iugaza.edu.psNet primary production = Gross Primary Production - Respiration Net primary production by photosynthesis can be estimated by measuring either the amount of raw material used up (CO2) or the amount of end products given off (O2) by photosynthetic organisms in the sunlight. Marine ecologists have attempted to develop accurate and relatively ...

Many streams have few primary producers and are dependent on the leaves from surrounding forests as a source of food that supports the stream food chain. Snow fields in the high mountains and sand dunes in the desert depend on food blown in from areas that support primary production.
