Abstract

Mean picophytoplankton surface biomass (mg/m3) estimated for the climate models (CanESM2, CESM1 BGC, GFDL ESM2G, HadGEM2 ES, IPSL CM5A MR, MIROC ESM, MPI, and NorESM1 ME) under the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) – equivalent to a radiative forcing of 8.5 W m-2 in 2100) scenario. Light fields were identical across simulations. Picophytoplankton biomass results from the sum of the biomass estimated for the Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, and picoeukaryotic phytoplankton.
