Extended Data Fig. 1: Study pipeline.
From: Restructuring of plankton genomic biogeography in the surface ocean under climate change
Metagenomic data from the 2009–2013 Tara Oceans expedition and in situ measurements of physicochemical variables (World Ocean Atlas 2013, WOA13)33 are combined to define environmental niches at the plankton community level across 6 size fractions. Bias corrected outputs from a mean model of 6 Earth System Models (Supplementary Table 1) and WOA13 data are then used to project global plankton provinces for present day and end of the century conditions under a high warming scenario (RCP8.5)36. Variables are Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Salinity (Sal), Dissolved silica (Si), Nitrate (NO3), Phosphate (PO4), Iron (Fe) and a seasonality index of nitrate (SI NO3).
