The graph shows that biomes with more available fresh water (such as wetlands and tropical rainforests) have higher net primary productivity (NPP) than biomes with less fresh water (such as deserts and tundras). Therefore, it can be inferred that terrestrial biomes with more available fresh water tend to have more productivity than those without much fresh water.
