Biogeochemical impacts. Mean differences in (a) Chlorophyll concentration, (b) Primary Production Rate, and (c) Carbon export between the reference (REF) and the extreme water reduction (EXT) scenario. No significant differences (C.V. in reference simulation > % difference) are blanked out. Carbon export has been estimated from the Primary Production Rate (assuming a C:N ratio of 106:16), applying the empirical relationships suggested by Eppley and Peterson (1979). Figure created by the authors using Matlab.
