Fig. 5From: Reducing the arbitrary: fuzzy detection of microbial ecotones and ecosystems – focus on the pelagic environmentAbruptness (slope, panels a and c) and spatial extent of the transition (panels b and d) between the different water masses (a and b) and their associated communities (c and d). The small letters indicate the statistical significance in each panel (Dunn’s test with Bonferroni adjustments, n = 6, p-value < 0.05)Back to article page
