Fig. 1: Total biomass carbon stocks per unit area and net primary production (NPP) among seagrass life-history strategies, genera and bioregions.
From: Global estimates of seagrass blue carbon stocks in biomass and net primary production
a Total carbon stocks in biomass (kg C ha−1) among seagrass life-history strategies. b Total NPP (kg C ha−1 yr−1) among seagrass life-history strategies. c Total carbon stocks in biomass among seagrass genera. d Total NPP among seagrass genera. e Seagrass total carbon stocks in biomass across bioregions. f Seagrass total NPP across bioregions. The horizontal black lines indicate medians, the box edges represent the interquartile range (25–75th percentiles), and whiskers show the range within 1.5 times the interquartile range. Black dots are outliers. Significant differences are indicated by different letters. Red dots represent the mean values, while crosses denote the absence of data. The number of observations (n) is provided below the box-and-whisker plots. The y-axes were 4th-root transformed for improved visualization of differences among life-history strategies.
