Fig. 1: Daily net productivity of rhodoliths from Atlantic and Mediterranean coralline algal beds.
From: “Pink power”—the importance of coralline algal beds in the oceanic carbon cycle
a Biomass-specific daily net primary productivity (NPP, expressed as carbon uptake) and (b) daily net carbonate production (NCP) and the corresponding daily light exposure (DLE). Box plots show the median (gray line), the box ends indicate the upper and lower quartiles and the box whiskers extend to the maxima and minima of each sample (excluding the outliers) [n = 5 per ___location, except for *multispecific rhodolith populations in Sicily (n = 10) and Arvoredo (n = 15)]. c Linear correlation between NPP and NCP (y = 0.559 + 0.241 x, R2 = 0.97).
