Fig. 3: Soil uptake rates of the 12 target VOCs in relation to different depths and proximities to the continental glacier in Kangerlussuaq.

From: The active layer soils of Greenlandic permafrost areas can function as important sinks for volatile organic compounds

The bars represent the mean ± S.E. (n = 3). Note different y axis scales for each row. Positive rates represent emissions and negative rates uptake. Proximity to the glacier affected the overall uptake rates of the 12 VOCs (P < 0.001, MANOVA). Soil depth had no effect on the overall uptake rates (P = 0.14, MANOVA) but it influenced the uptake of acetone (P = 0.003, ANOVA) and 2-butanone (P = 0.008, ANOVA).
