Notes.

(a)

IMBP: Internetwork Magnetic Bright Point; NMBP: Network MBP; MFC: Magnetic Flux Concentration; ME: Magnetic Element.

(b)

Mean values; otherwise a range is given whenever it was available.

(c)

Values in parentheses are not directly reported in the papers, but are computed from the given plots/tables.

(d)

See their paper for other types of regions.

(f)

From Table 1 of Abramenko et al. (2011).

(g)

From SOT magnetograms with the smallest pixel size of 116 km.

(h)

From Lawrence et al. (2001). Cadavid et al. (1999) reported a much lower resolution element of 0.̋4.

(i)

For five-minute averaged and spatially smoothed high-resolution magnetograms.
