Primary Production - Answer-Where photosynthesis occurs Why do some areas have high rates of primary production than others? - Answer--Eeterogenous water column leads to low nutrient levels and little photosynthesis in tropical areas. -Equatorial upwelling causes a slight increase of photosynthesis near equator. -Colder waters mean no thermocline. Homogenous water column that is nutrient rich. Lots of photosynthesis. -Eutrophication results in dead zones. - Coastal upwelling. Pollagic E...
