Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

So organisms have just as much water as rivers? That seems surprising, but I guess it could be that way.

Thinking the same thing. But now that I think about it, there is a lot of vegetation that would take up the majority of that share. Think about all the streama and rivers, then think about all the vegetation that surrounds and how easy it would be to fill those rivers with it. But still that's a lot of water.

50% of a tree is apparently water, which seems like a lot.

It's the other 60% you have to worry about

Could just be that whatever was used to create the diagram has a minimum slice size and anything below that just gets rounded up. Without labels for the size of each slice it's impossible to tell.

Would be nice if they included a source for this data. Then it would not be impossible to tell.

Just eyeballing it the organisms looks maybe 2/3rds the size of rivers?
