Before a group of volunteers planted 400 mangrove trees, the gross annual primary productivity of a particular wetland ecosystem is found to be 22,000 kcal/m2 . The trees have increased the gross primary productivity by 20%. What is the new GPP of the wetland?

Respuesta :

Answer:

New GPP [tex]= 264000[/tex] kcal/m2

Explanation:

Given -

Number of new trees planted [tex]= 400[/tex]

Before planting new trees, the gross annual primary productivity of a particular wetland ecosystem [tex]= 22,000[/tex] kcal/m2

The increase in gross primary productivity  [tex]= 20[/tex] %

The new GPP will  be equal to

Existing GPP + [tex]20[/tex] % of Existing GPP

Substituting the given values, we get -

[tex]22000 + \frac{20}{100} * 22000\\22000 + 4400\\26400[/tex]

New GPP [tex]= 264000[/tex] kcal/m2
