An updated end-to-end ecosystem model of the Northern California Current reflecting ecosystem changes due to recent marine heatwaves

EcoTran trophic network of ecosystem model.
The EcoTran trophic network is visualized here as a weighted, directed graph. Numbered nodes are functional groups (see Table 1 for numbers), while arrows indicate directed edges (energy flows from producer groups towards consumer groups). The shade of green indicates strength of interaction (higher diet preference and prey biomass results in darker green network edges) up to a value of 0.10, at which point network edges get thicker with higher values, as in Fig 5. This graph includes detritus groups (86–90), which dominate the network.
