Long-Term Trends for Bottom Orthophosphate in the Chesapeake Bay: 1999-2013
Date created: April 30, 2015Long-term trends were computed by state partners using the Seasonal Kendall non-parametric technique for annual data collected from 1999-2013. Highly significant trends are indicated with triangles and possible trends are show with colored circles. Bottom Orthophosphate concentrations are decreasing/improving significantly at 21 stations, possibly decreasing at 7 stations, increasing/degrading significantly at 6 stations, and possibly increasing at 3 stations.
