Definition Productivity in an ecosystem refers to the percentage of energy that enters the ecosystem in the form of biomass at a particular trophic level. It is the rate at which biomass is formed in EU freshwater ecosystems and transitional waters.
Metric
  • Gross primary production (e.g. gC/m2/year)
  • Respiration (e.g. gC/m2/year)
  • Net pimary production (e.g. gC/m2/year)
  • Net secondary production (e.g. gC/m2/year)
  • Biomass (e.g. gC/m2)
  • Surface chlorophyll-a concentrations
Spatial resolution unit Catchment units (add hierarchy level) and estuarine-marine habitats (marshes, estuaries)
Temporal resolution unit 1 year
Entity EUNIS freshwater habitats (except small rivers)
