Fig. 6: Photosynthetic scores normalized per tissue pixel of different bio-optical and morphological simulation scenarios.

Photosynthetic scores normalized per tissue pixel of different bio-optical and morphological simulation scenarios under a high-light (equivalent to 5 m; 750 µmol photons m−2 s−1) and b low-light (equivalent to 50 m; 45 µmol photons m−2 s−1) conditions. Color denotes the morphotype (shallow: blue; mesophotic: red) and the ambient photosynthetic performance (P-E) is represented by shape (shallow: triangle point up; mesophotic: triangle point down). Filled triangles and dashed vertical lines represent the scores for settings as found in nature for shallow and mesophotic corals.
