Fig. 6: The effect of temperature on the partitioning of lithium into residual and newly crystallising minerals.

a Plagioclase. b Alkali feldspar. c Biotite. Partition coefficients are presented from this study (red circles), felsic experiments in the literature16,18,19,20,21,22,23 (blue circles), mafic experiments in the literature (green circles; Table S14 in Supplementary Data 1; Supplementary References), and natural samples10,44,45,46,47,48 (range shown by the orange box). The dashed line highlights the preferred values that were subsequently used for trace element modelling. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean (1σm).
