Figure 1.
Scatterplots of the DOC (a) and DON (b) concentrations against salinity in July and September 2015. The blue- and red-dotted lines indicate regression lines for each sampling cruise. The black-dotted lines indicate the theoretical mixing line of the end-members between seawater with the highest salinity and the Changjiang River water derived from previous studies (156 μM for DOC29 and 20 μM for DON42). The Pearson correlation analysis was conducted using SigmaPlot Version 12.0 (Systat Software, CA) (www.systatsoftware.com).
