Effect of inter-annual variation in precipitation and temperature on global net primary productivity during the contemporary period (2000–2009) (left panel) and changes in mean annual NPP of major biomes as a function of temperature and precipitation (right panel).

<p>Left Panel: Mean annual temperature anomalies (a), annual precipitation anomalies (b), and net primary productivity (c) and right panel: average (2000–2009) temperature (a) average precipitation (b) and average net primary productivity (c).
