Figure 5.
Relationships of mass-corrected community biomass to (a) temperature-corrected annual gross primary production, and (b) annual ecosystem respiration. Both fluxes are significantly correlated with biomass, although the slopes of the OLS-fitted regression models (dashed lines) are significantly less than the value of unity (p < 0.05) predicted by the constrained model (solid line; table 1), indicating qualitative, but not quantitative, support for the model predictions.
