"Production of carbon" means the production of biomass expressed as the mass of carbon which it contains. "Productivity" means production per unit volume. The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction A_expressed_as_B, where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. "Prokaryotes” are all Bacteria and Archaea excluding photosynthetic cyanobacteria such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus or other separately named components of the procaryotic population.

"gross_production" means the rate of creation of biomass per unit volume with no correction for respiration. The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction A_expressed_as_B, where B is a chemical constituent of A, in this case carbon. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. "Prokaryotes” are all Bacteria and Archaea excluding photosynthetic cyanobacteria such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus or other separately named components of the procaryotic population.
