See “Methods” for ACL calculation. Submerged or floating aquatic plants tend to have STR values greater than 0.25, whereas for the Aquatic Plant Ratio (Paq), aquatic plants tend to have values greater than 0.7, and values ranging between 0.1 and 0.7 typically represent a mixed input of terrestrial, emergent and submerged aquatic plants. The percentages of compound abundances are relative to the dominant n-alkanes (C25 + C27 + C29 + C31). Higher values reflect relatively increased inputs of the respective compounds.
