The graph illustrates the temperature and precipitation conditions in various terrestrial biomes. a) Based on the information in the graph, describe the air temperature range for a boreal forest. (b) Based on the information in the graph, identify the major grassland present within 20 degrees north and south of the equator.

Given these large-scale climate patterns based on latitude, what might you expect in terms of the global distribution of primary productivity (e.g. where might you expect greater plant productivity)? (Select all that are true.) Higher productivity near equator because of more direct solar radiation. Higher productivity near equator because of overall more precipitation. Bands of lower productivity near 30° N and S because of drier air. Bands of lower productivity near poles because of drier air.
