This figure shows the distribution of the underlying data in Oliver et al 2017 (see below). Interestingly, when you look at all data, it is difficult to discern any patterns. While the study found that on average lakes weren’t changing in chlorophyll, roughly 15% of lakes were either increasing or decreasing in chlorophyll.

This GIF is interesting because it shows how a very well-known limnological relationship (total phosphorus versus chlorophyll concentration) changes at the annual scale across about 20 years. There are plenty of lakes that seem to track that rough 1:1 line, but quite a few that do not and do quite interesting things. The lakes thatContinue reading “TP vs CHL Gif by Sam Oliver”
