Fig. 2: Contemporary global distribution of prokaryotes.
From: The global distribution and climate resilience of marine heterotrophic prokaryotes
Mean (across depth) prokaryotic a, d, g abundance (m−3); b, e, h cell-specific carbon (fg C cell−1), and c, f, i biomass (mg C m−3) in the a–c top 200 m (epipelagic); d–f 200–1000 m (mesopelagic); and g–i >1000 m (bathypelagic). Note that color scales for abundance and biomass changes with the layer. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
