Extended Data Fig. 5: Temperature-dependent responses of Synechococcus abundances.
From: Future ocean warming may cause large reductions in Prochlorococcus biomass and productivity
Synechococcus abundances measured by SeaFlow and compiled datasets14,23,43, as a function of temperature (°C), with color scale coding representing the number of observations. The data were binned by 0.25 °C intervals of seawater temperature, and the 80th percentile abundance was calculated for each bin. Error bars show the 5th and 95th percentiles within the top 80% subset. The red box highlights the observed detrimental effects of warm temperatures on Prochlorococcus (> 28 °C). The inset map shows the geographical distribution of sample locations, with samples collected in water above 28 °C indicted in red.
