Depletion timescale of the N2GN galaxies obtained applying the Tacconi et al. (2020) scaling relation. The gray shaded area is the trend found by Saintonge et al. (2013). The different lines represent the trends found by Tacconi et al. (2020) for: main sequence galaxies (selected within Δ_MS = ±0.6 dex, black solid line); starburst galaxies (Δ_MS > 0.6 dex, blue dashed line); extreme starbursts (Δ_MS > 1.2 dex, purple dotted line); below-MS galaxies (Δ_MS < 0.4 dex, red long-dashed line).
