(1) Please define GPP. NPP, NEP respectively. (9 pt)

(2) Scientists use eddy-covariance tower to measure Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), which is a measure of CO2 fuxes between the ecosystem and its surro ounding environments. Does NEE equal to GPP or NPP or NEP? Why? (6 pt)

(3) View the latitudinal distribution of the global NPP below. A is global average, B is land average, and C is ocean average. Different lines indicate different seasons as explained in the figure captions. Please describe the latitudinal distribution patterns for NPP for land (5 pt) and ocean (5 pt) respectively. You may have noticed that for both land and ocean NPP. there is a local minimum around 20-30 degree N/S. Do they have similar or different reasons? Please explain. (10 pt)

(4) Now compare the latitudinal patterns of carbon storage on land in the following figure. The areas above 0 on the y axis is carbon storage above ground, and the areas below 0 on the y axis is carbon storage below ground (or soil organic carbon SOC for diflerent depths shown in the figure caption). Summarize the similarity and differences between the two (5 pt), explain what proce cesses drive the similarities and differences (5 pt). How would we predict future changes in carbon storage under the direct influence of CO2 rise and global warming (5 pt)?The latitudinal patterns of terrestrial carbon stocks, both aboveground living plant biomass (green) [data from Gibbs et al. (114)] and soil carbon stocks (brown) [data from Hengl et al. (18)].
