CCA analysis of the eukaryotic stations (a) and most abundant eukaryotic groups (b) and for the prokaryote stations (c) and the prokaryotic groups (d) with the environmental data. The seasons and regions are color coded while open circles denote samples taken at the surface with closed circles denoting the DCM. For (b) the taxa codes are: Dino = unclassified Dinophyceae; DG-II-10+11 = Syndinophyceae Group II clade 10 and 11; DG-II-6 = Syndinophyceae Group II clade 6; DG-I-1 = Syndinophyceae Group I clade 1; DG-I-4 = Syndinophyceae Group I clade 4; DG-I-5 = Syndinophyceae Group I clade 5; R-P = Raphid pennate diatoms; Ostr = Ostreococcus; Bathy = Bathycoccus and Micro = Micromonas. For (d) the taxa codes are: OM1-Act = Actinomarina OM1 clade; Pro = Prochlorococcus; Syn = Synechococcus; Rho-A169 = Rhodospirillaceaea AEGEAN-169 group; Rhod = uncultured Rhodobacteraceae; SAR11-S1 = SAR11 surface 1; SAR86 = SAR86. For all plots the environmental variables are: Ni = Nitrate; Nt = Nitrite; Ph = Phosphate; Si = Silicate; Temp = Temperature and Sa = Salinity. Please note the differences in the scales.
