Primary Production Production Formation of Organic Matter Autotrophic
- Slides: 55
Primary Production
Production: Formation of Organic Matter • Autotrophic Organisms (Plants, algae and some bacteria) – Photosynthesis – Chemosynthesis CO 2 + Electron Donor + energy CH 2 O + other • Heterotrophic Organisms (most bacteria and animals) RESPIRATION (Autotrophs & Heterotrophs) CH 2 O + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O + Energy (ATP)

Bristlecone Pine: 4. 723 years old!
Kelp Forest Macroalgae: 3% Ocean Photosynthesis www. underwaterplanet. com
Phytoplankton: 97% Ocean Photosynthesis
Phytoplankton Dominance • Phytoplankton – Optimize surface area/volume (4/3 Пr 2) / (4/3 Пr 3) • Smaller size larger surf. area/volume • 5μm = 1/5 • 10μm = 1/10 – Small Particles sink slower • Larger surf. area/volume Slower sinking
Phytoplankton spines: increase in surface for higher floatability
Energy – Mass models
Measuring Productivity
Measuring Productivity • Plant Biomass – How much phytoplankton is there (mg Chl/m 3) or (μg Chl/liter) • Productivity – A rate of how much carbon is produced per time • g Carbon / m 3 / day – GROSS Productivity = Carbon fixed through Photosynthesis per time – NET Productivity = Gross Prod - Respiration
Standing Crop: Plant Biomass
Grass clippings after 1 week: Productivity
What do Chl maps really measure? Biomass!
Measurement of Productivity: C 14 incorporation experiments
Phytoplankton consumption: grazing
So Chl concentration is reasonable estimation of primary productivity in surface waters
Ecosystem Productivity (Annual net productivity)
Ocean primary productivity
Productivity and depth
Open water (low productivity)
Coastal and Estuarine waters (high productivity)
Productivity measurements with DEPTH
Photic Zone and Compensation Depth
Upper Pelagic Habitats. Photic Zone
Vertical distribution of Primary production • • Surface photoinhibition (UV light? ) Photosynthetic Maximum Compensation depth Critical Depth – Refers to the whole population – Photosynthesistotal = Respirationtotal
Productivity and depth
Critical Depth • CRITICAL DEPTH: Depth at which total primary productivity = Total respiration • MIXING DEPTH – Depth above which all water is throughly mixed (WIND) THE PUNCHLINE: • MIXING DEPTH > CRITICAL DEPTH: Then Phytopl. are partially swept down and a bloom cannot occur • MIXING DEPTH < CRITICAL DEPTH: then a Phytopl. Bloom can occur
CRITICAL DEPTH
