a Scatter plot of suspended sediment concentration (particles mL−1) against cell concentration for all samples. b Linear regressions of suspended concentration against abundance for each glacier site. c Scatter plot of hydraulic conductivity (K) in m d−1 against cell concentration for all weathering crust samples. d Linear regressions for C. e Scatter plot of stream discharge (Q) in m3 s−1 against cell concentration for four glacier settings where measurements n > 5. f Linear regressions for E. For all plots, each glacier’s data are colour-coded; for plots b, d, and f the 95% confidence limits are shown, and adjusted r2 values are given with significance indicated by * for p < 0.1, ** for p < 0.05, and *** for p < 0.01. Note that r2 values for VFCH are presented with a black background for visual clarity.
