Fig. 3: Scatter plots comparing melt conditions, near-surface hydraulic conductivity and microbial abundance.
From: Storage and export of microbial biomass across the western Greenland Ice Sheet
a Relationship between hydraulic conductivity (K) and coincident melt. b Association between K and time relative to peak melt. c Scatter plot of microbial abundance and coincident melt. d Scatter plot of microbial abundance and time relative to peak melt. Sample points are grouped and shaded according to the day of year (DOY) collection date, and those assessed as outliers, with >1 × 105 cells mL−1 (see Methods), are shown with hollowed markers above a dashed line.
