Global Patterns in Ecological Indicators of Marine Food Webs: A Modelling Approach (original) (raw)
Figure 4
Boxplot of significant differences of food web ecological indicators by depth class.
The smallest observation (sample minimum), lower quartile, median, upper quartile, largest observation (sample maximum) and outliers are indicated. The boxes are drawn with widths proportional to the square-roots of the number of observations in each class. FD/TST = flow to detritus/total systems throughput (proportion), R/TST = respiration/total systems throughput (proportion), TEm = mean transfer efficiency (%) and mean EE = mean ecotrophic efficiency (proportion).
