autotrophs are represented by
phytoplankton ,some algae
floating submerged and marginal plants found at the edges
consumers are represented b y
zooplankton
free swimming and bottom dwelling forms
decomposers are represented by
fungi
bacteria
flagellates(esp availble in the bottom of the pond)
———–is defined as the amount of biomass or organic matter produced per unit area over a time period by plants during photosyenthesis
primary production
primary productivity is expressed in terms of
gm -2 or (kcal m-2)
rate of biomass production is called
productivity (yr -1)
net primary productivity is the available biomass for the consumption to————
heterotrophs (herbivores and decomposers)
secondary productivity is defined as the rate of formation of new organic matter by ———–
consumers
the rate of decomposition controlled by
chemical composition of detrises and climate factors
————fsvoud decomposition?
warm and moist environmnt
most imp climatic factorss that reg decomposition through their effects on the activities of soil microbes
