From: Both respiration and photosynthesis determine the scaling of plankton metabolism in the oligotrophic ocean

Figure 2

Latitudinal variation of integrated (a) NCP and (b) photosynthesis (P, open squares) and respiration (R, red filled squares) data during the AMT11 to AMT22 cruises. The error lines represent the propagated s.e. The dotted line on a is the NCP=0 line, indicating the transition from auto- to heterotrophy. The approximate location of the South Atlantic gyre (SATL) and North Atlantic gyre (NAST) provinces is indicated.
