C/O ratio and the log scale metallicity of the planets formed by SimAb presented in Fig. 5. The color bar indicates the planetesimal ratio. Shown are zoom-ins on the four regions explained in Fig. 5. Planets that initiate their formation in region A in disks with higher planetesimal ratio, show lower metallicity and a higher C/O ratio. On the other hand, planets that initiate their formation in regions B, C, or D show a very strong correlation with the planetesimal ratio. Planets that initiate their formation in these regions with a high planetesimal ratio show a higher metallicity and a lower C/O ratio. In all four plots the planets that are formed in disks with higher dust grain fractions show metallicities and C/O ratios closer to the solar value. This relation becomes less strong for planets that initiate their formation in farther regions, such as regions C and D.
