Plankton Abundance, Silicate, Salinity, and Temperature
In this image we see the fluctuation in how many plankton are in the water throughout the year. The image includes an overlay of the data graph with temperature and the concentration of the essential nutrient silicate to add another dimension, and it includes composites of photographs of plankton taken with a scanning electron microscope. Abundances changes substantially through the year, and in the final weeks the quantity of plankton was so great that the number continues above and beyond the graph.
