Fig. 6: Trends in pit growth rates as a function of environment.

Fig. 6

For the four environments examined in this study, distributions of (a) initial and (b) secondary pit growth rates are provided. Some pits exhibited multiple secondary growth rates – all of these are included in (b). (c) shows a plot of secondary growth rate as a function of initial growth rate; connected points highlight secondary growth rates that were associated with a single pit. Contour lines are provided in (c) as a visual guide to compare initial and secondary growth rates.
