FIGURE 4.
Spatial and temporal patterns of VA, PA, and VPR along with the sediment Pha gradient. Panel (A) shows the spatial pattern of VA, y = 0.6508x + 0.6513, (B) shows the spatial pattern of PA, y = 0.2546x + 0.4741 and (C) shows the spatial pattern of VPR, y = 1.2897x0.3837. Panel (D) shows the temporal pattern of VPR in the intertidal zone, where there was no correlation between VPR and the Pha.
