Community composition at the OTU (97%) level explaining carbon export. In a multiple linear regression model, 3 and 2 key OTUs selected by SSVS explained most of the variance in (A) NCP in mmol C m−2 day−1 and (B) NCP/POC in m day−1 geographical variability, respectively. Each OTU (relative 18 S abundance in %) has distinct biogeography, and its variance partitioning is shown in a Venn diagram. OTUs in red (blue) are positively (negatively) correlated with NCP or NCP/POC. Maps are created with Ocean Data View version 4.6.3.1 (Schlitzer, R., Ocean Data View, http://odv.awi.de, 2015).
