A- Difference in dissolved oxygen between light bottle and dark bottle yield NET primary productivity
B- Difference in dissolved oxygen between light bottle and initial bottle yield NET primary productivity
C- Difference in dissolved oxygen between light bottle and initial bottle yield Grass primary productivity
D- Difference in dissolved oxygen between light bottle and dark bottle yield total oxygen produced by photosynthesis
