Fig. 4: Impacts of a hypothetical warm-adapted Prochlorococcus strain on projected biomass production.
From: Future ocean warming may cause large reductions in Prochlorococcus biomass and productivity
a–f, Latitudinal change (%) in depth-integrated biomass production for Prochlorococcus (a,b), Synechococcus (c,d) and all other phytoplankton (e,f) comparing the standard metabolic reaction model (blue) with a warm-adapted variant (red) for Prochlorococcus. The lines represent the mean across longitudes, and shading indicates longitudinal variation (±s.d.). Both projections use the same future climate scenario (2090–2100) and pre-industrial baseline (1860) as Fig. 3.
