Across the globe, increasing precipitation always increases net primary productivity.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net primary productivity (NPP) is influenced by a variety of factors including temperature, sunlight, nutrient availability, and precipitation. While increased precipitation can enhance NPP in arid and semi-arid regions by providing necessary water, in regions where water is not a limiting factor, additional precipitation may not increase NPP and can even decrease it by causing nutrient leaching, flooding, or anaerobic conditions that harm plant growth.
