Mapping the Fundamental Niches of Two Freshwater Microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris (Trebouxiophyceae) and Peridinium cinctum (Dinophyceae), in 5-Dimensional Ion Space

Figure 2

A 3-D visualization of specific growth rates, μ (d−1), for C. vulgaris and P. cinctum. The individual treatment points are indicated by the colored dots and follow the scale indicated. The “cloudy” regions are volume renderings in which groups of higher-level points combine to increase opacity. Thus, these regions are indicative of multiple treatments, closely related in Euclidean space, where growth was positive.
