Exam 48: Biomes and Global Ecology

At a minimum, primary producers require water, carbon dioxide, and light. These are things that are readily available in most ecosystems. However, we do not observe the same rates of net primary productivity in every region of the globe. Which of the following statements BEST reflects one reason why rates of productivity are not the same everywhere?
