Hi everyone!
The contexts for the expression are the following:
Una característica de los cordones conchiles es que Na+ - Cl- en función de (HCO3- + SO42-) – (Ca2+ + Mg2+) tiene una relación 1:1 mostrando un coeficiente de correlación de 0.98 (Fig. 5e).
Por su parte, Ca2+/SO42- varía entre 0.06 y 1.19, Ca2+/HCO3- entre 0.09 y 0.42 (Fig. 5c y d) y las relaciones de intercambio (Na+ - Cl-) en función de (HCO3- + SO42-) – (Ca2+ + Mg2+) no muestran correlación y los valores de (Cl- - (Na+ - K+))/Cl- son próximos a cero.
How would you translate it? Would you say that 'as a function of' fits the context? Thank you very much!
