Gross production is the total solar energy converted into organic matter, with 20-50% used for respiration and the remainder converted into biomass. Net production is the energy remaining for the next trophic level (Net Prod = Gross Prod - Respiratory Losses).
La producción bruta es la energía solar total convertida en materia orgánica, de la cual se usa entre el 20-50% para la respiración, y el resto se convierte en biomasa. La producción neta es la energía restante disponible para el siguiente nivel trófico (Producción Neta = Producción Bruta - Pérdidas Respiratorias).
