Map of Bicarbonate Concentrations in Aquatic Environments (IMAGE)
Caption
One of the main products of the study is a statistically derived map of local bicarbonate concentrations in aquatic environments (dark blue = high bicarbonate values, light yellow = low bicarbonate concentrations). The ability of aquatic plants to use bicarbonate as a carbon source is positively correlated with bicarbonate concentrations. The map shows interesting patterns with low concentrations in major outwash zones (big river catchments and postglacial melt zones).
