Fig. 3: Results of the predicted microplastics (MPs) based on random forest.
From: Quantitative assessment on the distribution patterns of microplastics in global inland waters
a Comparison of predicted and observed MPs abundance in inland waters after log transformation (the grey dashed line indicates the 1:1 line and the blue line indicates the regression line between predicted and observed values). b The relative importance of predictors in the model. c–g Partial dependence plots showing the dependence of MPs abundance in the global inland waters on predictors after log transformation (Blue lines presented the smooth curve fitted by LOESS regression). HDI human development index, AET actual evapotranspiration, PET potential evapotranspiration, LSR land surface runoff.
