. If you measure the available biomass for a patch of forest as 10 kg C/ m2-year, and the amount of CO2 given off into the atmosphere as 5 kg C/ m2-year, what is the GPP? 1. Imagine we run an experiment on the algae Cladophora glomerata. We place equal amounts of algae into a light bottle and a dark (covered) bottle. We measure the dissolved oxygen in both bottles and find it is at 10 mg/L. We let both bottles sit for a week. In one week, the light bottle has a dissolved oxygen value of 11 mg/L and the dark bottle has a value of 5 mg/L. CALCULATE the amount of respiration, the NPP and the GPP in this situation.
