Error bars represent percent biomass change under upper and lower boundary survival scalars. Upper boundary scalar simulations are associated with error bars of the same directional change of the normal survival scalar while lower boundary simulations are associated with error bars of the opposite direction change (ex. Macrocystis and brown algae upper boundary simulations are represented by the right error bars, while snails and lobster upper boundary simulations are represented by the left error bars).
