Graphical presentation of data
(mean, median, quartile range, minimum and maximum)
Monthly climate data for Ouesso, Republic of Congo (a) and box plots of annual water temperature (b), and pH (c) for the six study streams. The black columns in panel (a) indicate monthly rainfall and the red line indicates average monthly air temperature. Each box‐and‐whisker plot represents 12 monthly samples. The solid line and + sign within the box‐and‐whisker plots represent the median and mean, respectively. The horizontal edges of the boxes denote the 25th and 75th quartiles and the error bars indicate the min and max. Colors correspond to the proportion of deforestation in each catchment, yellow (23%) to red (88%).
