Fig. 5: Multivariate analysis of microplastic load determinants in lakes of the Laurentian Great Lakes region.
From: Geographical features and management strategies for microplastic loads in freshwater lakes
The relationships between microplastic loads (adjusted by depth) and non-fiber to fiber ratios (nf/f) (a), microplastic concentrations and lake areas (b). The horizontal axis represents lake number in a descending order of lake areas. Loads, concentrations and lake areas are plotted as green bars, red dog-leg lines, and blue stepped lines, respectively.
