The maximum GPP was noted during summer season and minimum in rainy season at all the six stations. The annual average GPP varied from 0.075±0.009 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup> to 0.938±0.103 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup>.The NPP value varied from 0.012±0.001 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup> to 0.832±0.081 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup> and exhibited an increasing trend from the month of September to February. The community respiration (CR) ranged from 0.026±0.002 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup> to 0.496±0.043 gC.m<sup>-3</sup>.h<sup>-1</sup> and exhibited a systematic seasonal pattern with maximum and minimum value during summer and winter respectively at all the stations. The correlation of NPP, GPP and CR with some of the physico-chemical parameters has also been established.}, number={3-4}, journal={Journal of Ecophysiology and Occupational Health}, author={Dash, Supriya and Patra, Ajay Kumar and Adhikari, Subhendu}, year={2011}, month={Dec.}, pages={219–225} }
