- 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.arrow_forwardWhat are some abiotic characteristics that is typically considered the desert?arrow_forwardHow do you describe Desertificationarrow_forward
