Fig. 3: Percent annual NPP generated during the bloom and change in average daily NPP during the bloom.

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

Fig. 3

The mean proportion of annual net primary production (NPP) generated during the phytoplankton bloom in (a) 1970, (b) 2020, and (c) 2100, and the change in the average rate of bloom NPP between (d) 2020 and (e) 2100 relative to 1970. In a–c, the edge of the seasonal ice zone is highlighted in light green and the edge of the perennial ice zone is marked in purple. Stippling in d and e indicates regions where there is no significant change in the proportion of NPP generated in the bloom.
