The correlation loading plot obtained after PLS-regression.

Abstract

<p>It was computed with light (), flow rate (), amount of sediment (, ), and time () as predictors (blue dots), and HSV-variables (), relative size (), photosynthetic efficiency (<i>P</i>) and sediment coverage (<i>SC</i>) as responses (red dots). The outer circle represents 100% explained variance and the inner circle 50% explained variance for the different variables.</p
