Relationships between lung function and ecological processes. (A) Comparison of mean lung function (%FEV1) over course of the study between paediatric and adult study patients; Kruskal–Wallis test H = 4.39, P = 0.03. B Relationship between lung function and number of acute pulmonary exacerbations experienced by each patient over course of study; R2 = 0.39, F1,28 = 17.4, P < 0.0001. C, D Relationships between lung function and ecological processes in adult patients; C R2 = 0.30, F1,13 = 5.44, P = 0.03 and (D) R2 = 0.31, F1,13 = 5.68, P = 0.03. Relationships for paediatric patients are not shown as both were nonsignificant. %FEV1 vs homogenizing dispersal: R2 = 0.001, F1,13 = 0.02, P = 0.865. %FEV1 vs drift: R.2 = 0.0003, F1,13 = 0.0001, P = 0.952
