Fig. 4: The changes in the CO2-eq feedback capacity of lake phytoplankton under future climate warming.
From: Global lake phytoplankton proliferation intensifies climate warming
a The phytoplankton CO2-eq feedback in lakes where phytoplankton growth is stimulated by climate warming (n = 62). b The phytoplankton CO2-eq feedback in the lakes where phytoplankton is negatively impacted by climate warming (n = 15). The SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5 are warming scenarios outlined in the latest Sixth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. CO2-eq represents CO2-equivalents. Box plot with center line = median, hollow circle = mean, box limits = upper and lower quartiles, whiskers = min to max. Data are presented as mean values  ±  SD.
