g C/m2/yr
Results when PBopt is estimated using the relationship
between temperature
and the maximum phytoplankton specific growth rate as originally described
by Eppley (1972) and modified for photosynthesis as described by Antoine et al.
(1996):
Note the similarity between global productivity distributions for the calculations
using
the VGPM and the results described by Antoine et al. (1996).
