Dynamic ratio and sediment resuspension rate (R) in different lakes.

<p>Peak suspended solid concentrations during resuspension were used for Saginaw Bay and Lake Okeechobee instead of sediment resuspension rate (R) data in this figure, as there was no detailed sediment resuspension rate data in the references [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0127915#pone.0127915.ref052" target="_blank">52</a>,<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0127915#pone.0127915.ref053" target="_blank">53</a>]. The trend line showing the relationship between R and dynamic ratio was calculated excluding Lake Markermeer.</p
