Fig. 3: CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and water-air CO2 flux in estuary type disturbance groups.
From: High carbon dioxide emissions from Australian estuaries driven by geomorphology and climate
Median (red line), mean (red asterisk), 1st and 3rd interquartile ranges (box caps), minimum and maximum values (whiskers) of (row A) pCO2, and (row B) water-air CO2 flux at per-minute resolution across different disturbance groups within (column 1) lagoons (from low (light blue) to very high disturbance (dark blue), n = 214, 815, 1312, and 1448), (column 2) small deltas (n; high (light green)=1777, and very high (dark green)=1845), and (column 3) tidal systems (from low (light yellow) to very high disturbance (dark brown), n = 1582, 2374, 588, and 1176). Outliers were omitted from the figures. Dotted line along x-axis represents atmospheric pCO2 and water-air CO2 flux equilibrium. Letters above figures denote statistical differences among estuary types, with letters that are the same indicating no significant difference (PERMANOVA, two-tailed, and at 95% confidence interval).
