What is the difference between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Net Primary Productivity (NPP)?
| 1. | GPP is the total rate of photosynthesis, including both organic matter used in respiration and biomass accumulation; NPP is only the biomass accumulation. |
| 2. | GPP refers to the energy stored by consumers, while NPP refers to the energy stored by producers. |
| 3. | GPP is the total biomass accumulated, while NPP is the leftover energy after plants' metabolic needs are met. |
| 4. | NPP is always higher than GPP because it includes consumer productivity. |

During the decomposition of detritus, the correct chronological sequence of steps involved is:
| 1. | Fragmentation → Leaching → Catabolism |
| 2. | Catabolism → Leaching → Fragmentation |
| 3. | Leaching → Fragmentation → Catabolism |
| 4. | There is no sequence as all steps occur simultaneously |
