Extended Data Fig. 7: N:P variability among phytoplankton in modeled population and species observations.

Extended Data Fig. 7

Model output of total model phytoplankton biomass (Gmol C) is binned according to its local N:P (mol mol−1). Distinct curves of biomass versus elemental ratios are separately plotted for small (blue) and large (red) size classes, and compared against the median values of traits observed for small (prokaryote, blue) and large (eukaryote, red).
