Extended Data Fig. 5: Simulated OA impacts on silicic acid and diatoms.
From: Enhanced silica export in a future ocean triggers global diatom decline
a, b, Future changes in Si(OH)4 (a) and diatom biomass (b) in the surface ocean relative to preindustrial conditions. Shown are results from simulations with the standard model configuration, that is, excluding OA-effects on silica dissolution (dashed lines), and the model including OA effects on silica dissolution (solid lines) for RCP6.0 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios. See Methods and Extended Data Table 3 for more details.
