Trait selection and co-existence of phytoplankton in partially mixed systems: Trait based modelling and potential of an aggregated approach

Fig 1

Temporal development of trait distributions at different nutrient enrichments (N_ini) (A-F) simulated with RM.

Displayed are concentration (mgC m^-3) in 101 equally spaced trait intervals as function of master trait H_I (μmol Photons m² s^-1) and depth (m). In all simulations turbulent diffusion is K_z = 5·10⁻⁵ m² s^-1.
