Comparison of observed and predicted ΔD2H for (a) the “Joint Turbid medium × Growth,” (b) the “Sequential Turbid medium → Growth” and (c) the “Sequential Porous envelop → Growth” optimization strategies considering in each case the “M” crown form. The star symbols represent average observed ΔD2H values for each “species × C130 class × site” combination as a function of corresponding median values for the distributions of average predicted ΔD2H obtained through the application to the model of 1 000 parameter sample sets drawn from the posterior distribution. The dashed lines represent the Deming regressions on these couples of values and the dot-dashed curves delimit the 95% confidence intervals to the regressions. Vertical errors bars are the 90% confidence intervals to the observed ΔD2H average values, and horizontal error bars are 90% credible intervals for the predicted ΔD2H average values. The solid lines correspond to the 1:1 relationships
