Trophic Position and Metabolic Rate Predict the Long-Term Decay Process of Radioactive Cesium in Fish: A Meta-Analysis
Figure 4
Effects of ecological/biological traits of species on decay rate of 137Cs activity concentration in fish.
Effects of a) trophic position of species, b) body mass (g, wet weight) of species, and c) inverse temperature (1/kT) of the environment on log10 decay rate (day−1) on 137Cs activity concentration in fish. Lines indicate a significant relationship by the best GLMM, with the coefficient and intercept estimated by GLMM.
