Trait selection and co-existence of phytoplankton in partially mixed systems: Trait based modelling and potential of an aggregated approach
Fig 2
Comparison of the temporal development of trait distributions simulated with RM (blue) and AM (red) with Nini ranging from 30 to 90 mgP m-3 (Fig A-G).
Displayed are trait distributions at 0.75 m water depth (depth of the center of the second grid cell from the surface) resolving 101 discrete equally spaced trait intervals. The red arrows indicate the location of Trav in AM for simulations in which Trvar is very large. In all simulations turbulent diffusion was Kz = 5·10−5 m2 s-1.
