once you have determined the biomass of your sample, you can refer to published resources to find a reasonable approximation of the conversion factor to use to determine the energy content of your sample type--for wisconsin fast plants, this is about 4.35 kcal of energy per gram of biomass. you can then convert grams of biomass/day to npp (kcal/day). a student team plants approximately 50 plants, and on day 7 of the experiment, they select 10 plants, rinse the soil from their roots, and carefully blot the plants dry. the total wet mass of these 10 plants is measured as 18.3 grams. the students then dry the plants and measure their dry mass, which is 5.2 grams. using the experimental results, calculate the values to complete the following chart. view available hint(s)
