How does NPP vary and what limits NPP? Total NPP for the planet is about 105 x 10^9 metric tons or 105 x 10^15 grams of C per year: About 54% is on land and about 46% is in the sea. Explain latitudinal variation in NPP on land and in the sea. How can the oceans represent ~1/2 of global NPP when the NPP of the open ocean is so low? Oceans Terrestrial Global 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 60°N 30°N 0° 30°S 60°S Latitude
