From: Future phytoplankton diversity in a changing climate

Fig. 1

For subplots a–d, f the change between the baseline period (mean of 2005−2024) and end of the century (mean of 2081−2100) is shown. a Percent change in total phytoplankton biomass; b percent change in richness; c percent change in evenness; d community turnover; e change in community turnover rate (turnover between the mean of 2061−2080 and 2081−2100 minus mean of 2011−2030 and 2031−2040); f change in slope of the phytoplankton community size structure, where negative values indicate a greater abundance of small phytoplankton types.
