Fig. 2: Changes in bloom start, end, and duration.

From: End-of-century Arctic Ocean phytoplankton blooms start a month earlier due to anthropogenic climate change

Fig. 2

Change in mean phytoplankton (a, b) bloom start date, (c, d) bloom end date, and (e, f) bloom length between 1970 and (a, c, e) 2020 and (b, d, f) 2100. The edge of the seasonal ice zone is indicated in dark green for 1970 and light green for 2020 or 2100, while the edge of the perennial ice zone is colored purple for 1970 and pink for 2020 (there is no perennial ice by 2100). Stippling indicates regions where there are no significant change in bloom timing. The Arctic circle is indicated in black.
