Please use the following information to answer the questions below.
The tundra biome is rapidly changing as a result of global warming.Studying the energy budget of the tundra can help scientists to evaluate the magnitude of these changes.In a randomly selected square meter of tundra,the amount of plant biomass is 200 g.The amount of new plant biomass added in a year is 100 g.In the same square meter,the total biomass added in a year is 15 g.A grasshopper that eats 1 g of plant biomass is able to use 0.15 g of that biomass for growth.The grasshopper cannot assimilate 50% of the plant's biomass.
-The 100 g of new plant biomass is the
