Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: The other variable needs to known for calculating the net ecosystem production (NEP) if the NPP is known.
Concept introduction: Net ecosystem production (NEP) is the gross production remain after the loss of total respiration of all the organisms in the system, on the other hand the NPP can be expressed as the amount of novel biomass added by producers in that time.
(b)
To determine: Why it is difficult to measure a variable that involves in net ecosystem production (NEP) ocean.
Concept introduction: Net ecosystem production (NEP) is the gross production remain after the loss of total respiration of all the organisms in the system, on the other hand the NPP can be expressed as the amount of novel biomass added by producers in that time.

The figure above (Fig. 1) is a 2-dimensional representation of a space for frog (in the absence of a competing species) based on the combination of two variables: moisture (% Relative Humidity [RH]) and temperature (°C). Size of the frog icon corresponds to how well it does (in terms of ecologic fitness) at various positions along these two environmental gradients. Flattened frogs indicate dead frogs; environmental conditions which are unsuitable for the frog's survival and reproduction. Italicized letters and numbers (on top) represent coordinates. Unitalicized numbers adjacent to the arrows represent values for either RH (the vertical arrow) or temperature (the horizontal arrow) 1. Fill in the blank а. Fundamental niche b. Habitat с.
