net_primary_productivity_of_carbon_accumulated_in_roots  

Definition

  • Net primary productivity is the excess of gross_primary_productivity (rate of synthesis of biomass per unit area from inorganic precursors by autotrophs, or "producers", especially by photosynthesising plants using sunlight for energy) over the rate at which they themselves respire some of this biomass (plant_respiration, assuming all producers to be plants). "Productivity of carbon" refers to the production of biomass expressed as the mass of carbon which it contains. "Productivity" means production per unit area.
