Primary production
Primary production is the production of
organic compounds
from atmospheric or aquatic
carbon dioxide
, principally through the process of
photosynthesis
, with
chemosynthesis
being much less important. All life on earth is directly or indirectly reliant on primary production. The organisms responsible for primary production are known as primary producers or
autotrophs
, and form the base of the
food chain
. In
terrestrial ecoregions
, these are mainly
plants
, while in
aquatic ecoregions
algae
are primarily responsible. Primary production is distinguished as either net or gross, the former accounting for losses to processes such as
cellular respiration
, the latter not.
