Abstract
Gross primary productivity and respiration of a chalk stream community have been calculated from diurnal oxygen curves. The annual community respiration and gross primary productivity were equivalent to about 3100 and 3500 g oxygen/m2 and the efficiency of gross daily productivity in relation to solar radiation varied between 1.0 and 2.2%.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
