NPP varies with _____ around the world.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NPP (Net Primary Productivity) varies with latitude or location on the Earth's surface. This is largely due to the availability of sunlight and temperature for photosynthesis, which decreases as one moves towards the poles, resulting in less NPP. Elevation and soil type can also affect NPP, but their effects are secondary to latitude. Longitudinal variation in NPP is negligible as it is related to climate and vegetation patterns, which are primarily influenced by latitude.
