Ratios between available endpoints for macrophytes (aquatic plants): growth rate inhibition (ErC50) and corresponding endpoints: area under the curve/“biomass” (EbC50) or yield (EyC50). Violin plots (in blue) and boxplots (orange boxes) display the distribution of ErC50 values divided by their corresponding EbC50 values (left; N = 40) or EyC50 values (right; N = 28). The endpoints are from the species Lemna gibba and Lemna minor from the list of endpoints of the EFSA conclusions of various herbicides and fungicides (for more details, see Additional file 1: Table S1). The boxplots illustrate the 25th, 50th (dark blue line) and 75th percentiles; whiskers illustrate the 10th and 90th percentiles; means are shown as red dot. For statistical analyses, see Table 1
