POC content (figure 2b) did not dramatically differ between present and future ocean conditions at 215 and 414 generations (t - test t20 = 2.7, p = 0.02 at 215 generations, t - test with Welch correction, t16 = 1.5, p = 0.15 at 414 generations), though values were between 10 and 28 % higher in the future ocean condition (table 4).
At the 703 generation point,
POC content (figure 2b) was significantly higher (t - test t22 = 2.0, p = 0.002) by 14 % in the future ocean condition.
If the cells were larger in the future ocean treatment, this should result in higher
POC content and lower PIC: POC ratio.
