The metabolic balance of the oceans. (A) Relationship between GPP and CR, estimated based on MTE. Solid line is the reduced major axis relationship. Dashed line is the 1:1 relationship. The GPP where both lines intersect is the threshold GPP for metabolic balance (GPP = CR). (B) Temperature-dependence of the GPP/CR ratio obtained by using the global data set (27). (C) Relationship between the threshold GPP and temperature obtained by dividing the global data set into 5°C temperature intervals.
