What is Lowest net primary productivity?

The lowest net primary productivity usually occurs in extreme environments such as deserts, polar regions, and deep ocean gyres where there is limited access to sunlight, water, and nutrients for photosynthesis. These areas have low plant growth and biomass production, resulting in low net primary productivity.


How does temperature soil composition and annual precipitation limit productivity in deserts?

In deserts, high temperatures can lead to evaporation of water faster than it can be replenished, limiting water availability for plants. Soil composition in deserts is typically poor in nutrients and organic matter, making it challenging for plants to grow. Additionally, low annual precipitation levels in deserts reduce the amount of water available for plant growth, further limiting productivity.


Do most deserts have low elevation?

No, deserts or parts of deserts can be several thousand feet in elevation.


Are deserts located in low elevations?

No. Height varies widely. There is even a formal division between high deserts (above 2,000 ft) and low deserts.


What causes low productivity on a company?

Low productivity in a company is caused by a number of factors. Poor management, employee dissatisfaction, outdated systems and personal problems of employees all contribute to low productivity.


Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to Low Humidity or Low Pressure or High Wind velocity or High temperature?

Clouds do not precipitate in deserts primarily due to low humidity. Deserts have very dry air with low moisture content, which limits the formation of rain clouds. The low humidity prevents sufficient condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere to form clouds that can produce precipitation.


Why are some areas in the desert classified as deserts?

Your question is redundant. All deserts are classified as deserts because of the low precipitation.


Does the desert have high or low tempetures?
