The rate of photosynthesis or chemosynthesis is referred to as gross primary productivity. Net primary production (NPP) is the rate at which all plants in an ecosystem generate net useful chemical energy; it is equivalent to the difference between the rate at which plants yield useful chemical energy (GPP) and the rate at which they utilize some of that energy during respiration. Gross primary production (GPP) is the quantity of chemical energy produced as biomass by primary producers in a specific time frame.
