Who is known as the father of Ecology in India?

In an ecosystem if the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of first trophic level is 100x (kcal m⁻²) yr⁻¹, what would be the GPP (Gross Primary Productivity) of the third trophic level of the same ecosystem?

Identify the correct statements: A. Detritivores perform fragmentation. B. The humus is further degraded by some microbes during mineralization. C. Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil and get precipitated by a process called leaching. D. The detritus food chain begins with living organisms. E. Earthworms break down detritus into smaller particles by a process called catabolism.

In the equation GPP - R = NPP, GPP is Gross Primary Productivity, NPP is Net Primary Productivity, R here is ________.

Given below are two statements: Statement I: Decomposition is a process in which the detritus is degraded into simpler substances by microbes.
