All figures and tables are cited in the text and numbered in the order that they appear. Graph axes on all figures are labeled using a single font (Times Roman preferred) and are sized so that they will be similar after final reduction. The labels are at least 1/8 inch (0.71 cm) from all lines in the figure.

Lines and symbols are of proper thickness and size to be successfully reduced. The final height of all type (after reduction) is at least 8 points (0.1 inch, 2.8 mm). Scale bars are on the figure, NOT in the figure legend.

Figures are numbered in Arabic numerals in the order of their citation in the text. Figure legends (one paragraph per figure) explain all panels (A, B, ...a, b, c,...) of a figure.

Symbols used in the figure (e.g., circles, squares, ...) are explained in a key on the figure itself rather than in the legend. The maximum size for a figure is 18.4x23.2 cm. For figures taken from published work one needs copyright permission and the figures need to be acknowledged.

Maps include reference to latitude and longitude and are bounded by a fine border.

Tables: Contain a title and explanatory legends if necessary. Omit fancy table formats.
