Statistical analysis demonstrates that the measured concentration was significantly different among sampling sites in different sampling events for both water and sediment.
Fig. 10 Hierarchical clusters formed among sampling sites.
Relationships were inconsistent either among transects or among sampling occasions.
Temporal variation of parameters among sampling dates was also examined.
Water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), total Nitrogen, and turbidity varied among sampling sites.
It was found that the measured values were significantly different among sampling sites (p < 0.05).
The large-scale pattern of lobster distribution among sampling strata remained unchanged over the survey period.
The distribution of apterous aphid populations varied significantly among sampling periods and treatments.
Both DOC and lignin concentrations varied significantly among habitat/land-use types and among sampling stations.
