Figure 2
Comparison of observed data for plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rodents (Clethrionomys glareolus) with best-fit model predictions, as function of radiation dose rate and time after the Chernobyl accident. Model predictions are shown as symbols rather than as continuous curves because they do not change monotonically as function of dose rate measured at a given time after the accident, since they correspond to data from different locations with different dependences of dose rate on time (see Tables 1, 2). Continuous curves based on model predictions, which improve visualization of model behaviors, are shown in subsequent figures.
