    Description

    This 3-part case study walks students through investigations of global primary productivity aimed at answering the following questions. 

    1.    How does primary productivity vary seasonally on land and in the ocean?
    2.    Where does most terrestrial primary productivity occur?
    3.    How is photosynthetic primary productivity in the ocean different from photosynthetic primary productivity on land?
