Effects of body size, temperature, and light on individual-level phytoplankton respiration (A–C) and net photosynthesis (D–F). (A and D) Effect of body mass on light- and temperature-corrected metabolic rates. (B and E) Effect of temperature on metabolic rates corrected for the effects of body mass and light. (C and F) Michaelis–Menten light-saturation curve for body-size- and temperature-corrected phytoplankton metabolism. Parameter estimates used for the corrections are the separate models for respiration and growth presented in Table 1.
