What is a wetland?

  • "Wetlands are areas where water covers or is present near the soil all year or for varying periods of time during the year, including during the growing season."
  • In this the water is saturated and the GPP is slightly lower than in the flowing bodies.
  • Wetlands acts as buffer during storm and protects coastal cities from floods and hurricanes.

What do you mean by gross primary productivity?

  • "Gross primary production (GPP) is the total rate at which material is produced."
  • GPP = NPP + R, where GPP is gross primary productivity, NPP is net primary productivity and R is respiration.

What is lake?

  • "It is a large area of water surrounded by land."
  • The land near lake are good for plants growth and has contribution in the high GPP of an ecosystem.
