If the Net Primary Productivity of an ecosystem with 4 trophic levels is 9000 KJ m-2 year-1 and the amount used for respiration by primary producers is 860 KJ m-2 year-1 , the gross primary productivity of this ecosysytem is
9000 - 860 KJ m-2 year-1
9000 + 860 KJ m-2 year-1
9000 – 4(860) 860 KJ m-2 year-1
9000 + 4(860) 860 KJ m-2 year-1
9000 - 3(860). 860 KJ m-2 year-1
