Figure 5b: Box-and-whisker plots showing differences in chlorophyll a (chla) and Secchi depth in four classes of predominant land cover (alpine, native, exotic forest and pasture)
Return to the point in the document where this figure is located.
Notes: Horizontal lines within boxes show median values, boxes show 25–75% data ranges, whiskers show 5–95% ranges, and pluses outliers outside the 5–95% ranges. No Secchi depth data were available for the alpine lakes.
Text description of figure
Upper plot shows progressively increasing median and range of Chla (axis range: 0-50 mg/m3) in following order of land use classes: alpine, native, exotic forestry, pasture. Medians given in Table 5. Lower plot shows progressively decreasing median and range of Secchi (axis range: 0-10 m) in following order of land use classes: native, exotic forestry, pasture (no alpine class given in this plot). Medians given in Table 5.
