FIGURE 1: A graphic summary of the model design, with the environmental
forcing (mixed layer depth and sea surface temperature) and a graphic
illustration of the temperature norm environmental trait.
FIGURE 2 : Absolute biomass concentrations (mg C m-3) expressed
in size bins for the pre-heatwave conditions for active and passive
copepod feeders and for protists: (a) daily biomass size bins (b)
seasonal total and mean biomass of the size bins. Dashed lines in
indicate the end of each season (winter, spring, summer, autumn).
FIGURE 3: Absolute seasonal biomass concentration of the five
dominant functional groups (in terms of their relative contribution to
total biomass) of (a.) active and (b.) passive copepod feeders and (c.)
protists for the winter (December- February), spring (March-May), summer
(June- August) and autumn (September- November) heatwave scenarios. Year
1: Heatwave. Years 2-7: years after the heatwaves.
FIGURE 4: Absolute Biomass concentration (mg C m-3) anomalies
during and after the summer seasonal heatwave (June-August) for the
biomass size bins of (a.) active and (b.) passive copepod feeders and
(c.) protists. Year 1 shows the seasonal biomass anomaly during the
heatwave (heatwave- pre heatwave biomass concentration). Years 2- 9 show
the seasonal biomass anomaly for 8 years after the seasonal heatwave
(after heatwave – pre heatwave biomass concentration). HW on all
plankton groups: the heatwave directly affects the physiological rates
of all plankton groups. HW on copepods only: the heatwave directly
affects the physiological rates of copepods only. HW on protists only:
the heatwave directly affects the physiological rates of protists only.
FIGURE 5 : Seasonal Shannon Diversity Index for (a.) active and
(b.) passive copepod feeders and (c.) protists for the winter (December-
February), spring (March- May), summer (June- August) and autumn
(September- November) heatwave scenarios. X-axis: years. Year 0:
pre-heatwave, Year 1: heatwave (in red) Years 2-5: after-heatwave. More
details about the Shannon Diversity Index can be found in the SM.
FIGURE 6 : Biomass anomalies (heatwaves (HW) on protists or
copepods only – heatwaves (HW) on both protists and copepods) during
all seasonal heatwaves and the seven seasons afterwards for (a.) active
and (b.) passive copepod feeders, and (c.) protists.
