Figure 1

Lake-to-lake variability of charophyte dry weight. The dashed line points at the lakes in which both species occurred. Each box-whiskers plot n = 30 (10 individuals × 3 sites). Abbreviations on the horizontal scale indicate the name of the lake (J – Jasne, K – Karskie, M – Męckie, Ma -Malcz, N – Niesłysz, P – Pierwsze, Z – Złoty Potok) slashed with the species name (Cg – Chara globularis, Ct – Chara tomentosa). The colors indicate species (gray is for C. globularis, white is for C. tomentosa). Different letters (lower case – C. globularis, uppercase – C. tomentosa) indicate significant (P < 0.05) lake-to-lake differences.
