Extended Data Fig. 8: Design of a simple model describing the relationship between nutrient cycling and standing stock of phytoplankton biomass.
From: Global picophytoplankton niche partitioning predicts overall positive response to ocean warming
Fluxes are identified by arrows and stocks by boxes. N and Nd represent nutrient concentration at the euphotic and deep layer respectively, and P represents phytoplankton biomass. k represents phytoplankton remineralization rate, u the phytoplankton nutrient uptake rate, s the phytoplankton sinking rate, and q the vertical mixing rate.
