Fig. 4: Linear relationships between the fraction of carbon (C) consumed by methanotrophy over summer and lake characteristics in the studied lakes.
From: The role of methanotrophy in the microbial carbon metabolism of temperate lakes
a Relationship with dissolved organic carbon concentration (DOC) (p < 0.001, F-test (F-statistic: 55.03, d.f. = 37)). b Relationship with the attenuation coefficient of photosynthetically active radiation (Kd PAR) (p < 0.001, F-test (F-statistic: 60.45, d.f. = 37)). Lines indicate linear relationship considering the lakes with hypolimnion only (i.e., excluding L. Triton and en Coeur). Each dot represents the mean percentage of C consumed by methanotrophy across the summer in each lake.
