Figure 5: Total suspended sediments concentration (TSSC) variations along scale under different classes of environmental factors.
From: Control factors and scale analysis of annual river water, sediments and carbon transport in China
Boxes are the 25th and 75th percentiles quantiles. Small: <15000 km2; Medium: 15000–100000 km2; Sizeable: 100000–350000 km2; Large: 350000–700000 km2; Great: >700000 km2. Coloured dots and lines show TSSC under the different classes of averment factors change with spatial scales. Abbreviations of the variables as shows in Table 1. Classifications criteria as shows in Table 2.
