Fig. 2: Bottom-up energy flow through ecosystem functional groups.
From: Marine heatwaves disrupt ecosystem structure and function via altered food webs and energy flux
The x-axis in both panels indicates the pre-MHW vs MHW time period. a The y-axis is the absolute consumption rate of specific functional groups (indicated in boxes across top of panel facets) by consumer groups (see legend for color-pattern combinations) in units of mmol N per cubic meter per day. b The y-axis shows the proportion of consumption that is allocated from specific functional groups to living consumer group types. All non-living nutrients and detritus pool groups were removed from these plots of energy transfer, because the ending fate of much of the system energy ends up in these pools, obscuring patterns in non-detritus groups. Thus, note that the y-axis in panel b does not extend to 1, but the total proportion (including the non-living groups) still sums to 1. A representative subset of taxa is presented across the figure facets. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
