Explanation / Answer

Gross primary productivity = Amount of chemical energy stored as biomass by producers.

Net primary productivity = Gross primary productivity - Respiration of producers

Net ecosystem productivity = Gross primary productivity - Respiration of ecosystem

From the given image,

GPP = 1000 g

NPP = 1000 - 500 = 500 g

NEP = 1000 - (500 + 40 + 200) = 260 g
