PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY

Specialty Definition: PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY

DomainDefinition

Math

The rate of carbon fixation by marine photosynthetic organisms (phytoplankton). Primary productivity results in the reduction of dissolved inorganic carbon to form organic carbon, with concomitant release of oxygen. (references)

Science

The rate at which new plant biomass is formed by photosynthesis. Gross primary productivity is the total rate of photosynthetic production of biomass; net primary productivity is gross primary productivity minus the respiration rate. (references)

Weather

See gross primary production and net primary production. (references)

Danish

  

producenternes bruttoproduktion beregnes ud fra den energimaengde, som er noedvendig til opretholdelse af livsfunktionerne : vaekst og respiration (gross productivity at the level of the producers - gross primary productivity - is calculated on the basis of the amount of energy expended on sustaining the vital functions - growth, respiration - per unit of time). (various references)

   

Dutch

  

de totale productiviteit van de producenten wordt berekend aan de hand van de energie, die nodig is voor de instandhouding van de levensfuncties - groei, ademhaling (gross productivity at the level of the producers - gross primary productivity - is calculated on the basis of the amount of energy expended on sustaining the vital functions - growth, respiration - per unit of time). (various references)
