"A computer simulation shows ecological provinces of the marine global ecosystems developed in the Follows Group at MIT. Each color represents a different combination of the most dominant phytoplankton function types (as shown in the Venn diagram at top right). Opacity indicates the total concentration of phytoplankton biomass: The darker the color, the less phytoplankton."
