Figure 3: The ecological footprint and biocapacity for selected world regions, 2016
*Biocapacity: amount of biologically productive land, measured in total hectares per person
Productivity contributes to the biocapacity of land. Outline one climatic factor that limits the primary productivity of a region.
Distinguish between two named biomes and the factors that cause their distribution.
