Here's another nitpick for you, Figure 1 is showing the independent variable (elevation) on the y-axis instead of the x-axis. And I don't know why they used a line plot instead of a proper histogram.

Why is elevation the independent variable?

Because they’re trying to see if the suicide rate depends on the altitude.
