Figure 4: Bacterial abundance trends and influence on DOM production.
From: Dust inputs and bacteria influence dissolved organic matter in clear alpine lakes
Scatterplots showing significant relationships between bacterial abundance (log BA) and (a) elevation (r=0.72, P<0.001, N=26), (b) DOC concentration (log DOC) (r=0.74, P<0.0001, N=26), (c) absorption (log a250) (r=0.49, P<0.017, N=23), and (d) total fluorescence (log Ftotal) (r=0.55, P=0.01, N=21) in alpine lakes. N=number of samples. Samples collected at depths >2 m were excluded.
