Multiple regression analysis confirmed a highly significant effect of nutrient supply rate (dilution rate) upon both P C and R C , with R 2 values > 0.5, whereas temperature had no significant effect (Table S1 ).

The sentences
The interaction between temperature and dilution rate was not significant for P C and R C but was marginally significant for R:P (Table S1 ).
The stimulating effect of increasing temperatures on phytoplankton production and growth may be significant in coastal and upwelling regions [ 62 ], but is likely to be minor in oligotrophic waters.
