From: Watershed geomorphology modifies the sensitivity of aquatic ecosystem metabolism to temperature
Temperature sensitivity corresponds with watershed slope. Left panel: Map of sites in Wood River basin. Points represent streams included in study and size of point is scaled to the magnitude of estimated temperature sensitivity (Et). Map of state of Alaska shows location of study area. Map was generated using the World Imagery dataset from Esri ArcMap 10.5.0.6491. Sources of satellite imagery cited on image include: “Esri, DigitalGlobe, GeoEye, Earthstar Geographic, USDA, USGS, AeroGrid, ICN, and the GIS user community”. Right panel: (A) Distribution of estimated Et values - Orange represents streams included in current study and green represents streams for which we have watershed slope data in the broader Wood River Basin and could estimate an Et value, (B) The relationship of temperature sensitivity with watershed slope (Rc2 = 0.46). Size of points scale with amount of rain over the course of and one day prior to metabolism measurements.
