The speed of energy in which it converts into the organic matter with the help of chlorophyll is known as primary productivity. Primary productivity can be affected by various factors like light, water, and nutrients. The two main types of primary productivity are Net primary productivity (NPP) and gross primary productivity (GPP). If we compare NPP VS. GPP, both are different in terms of chlorophyll dependency and terms of producer and consumers. NPP can be affected and calculated by the GPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
