The phrase "and a subsequent decrease" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a decrease that follows another event or change, often in contexts related to data analysis, economics, or scientific observations.
Example: "The study showed an initial increase in sales, and a subsequent decrease was noted in the following quarter."
Alternatives: "followed by a decline" or "resulting in a drop".
Significant levels of endogenous ethylene occurred by day-15 causing reductions in photosynthesis, dark-period respiration, and a subsequent decrease in plant growth.
Analysis of the vertical profile of soil revealed an increase of mutagenicity per gram from the surface to a maximum at 5 15 cm depth and a subsequent decrease with very little activity remaining deeper than 35 cm.
Experimental results revealed significant changes in the normalized frequency, Rf, with decrease in Rf associated with load-induced cracking, an increase in Rf associated with moderate reinforcement corrosion and a subsequent decrease in Rf associated with repair.
The combined effect of the sintering related densification and the cracks formed during the treatment led to an initial increase and a subsequent decrease in Young's modulus and hardness of the TC with increasing treatment time.
In the mitochondria, p53 interacts with the primary antioxidant enzyme, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), consistent with the reduction of its superoxide scavenging activity, and a subsequent decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential.
An abrupt transition seems to occur in larger tubes, resulting in a maximum (less negative) for (12,12) and a subsequent decrease, with an asymptotic behaviour to the bulk water.
When the Lysholm scores were compared at different time intervals with BMI (Table 4), it followed the same overall trend, with the best scores at 6 months and a subsequent decrease over time.
Figure 19 reports the 6-min evolution of the HI in the area around Genoa from 10 42 to 11 12 UTC, showing an increase until 11 00 UTC (HI maximum of 0.11 mm) and a subsequent decrease.
This subsidence can be attributed to the maximization of the convective conditions, which caused an increase in the aerosol columnar load and a subsequent decrease in the conduction current and PG in accordance with Ohm's law (Serrano et al. 2006).
Using TOF monitoring in the ICU may result in a reduction of NMBAs' dose and a subsequent decrease risk of complications related to prolonged and/or excessive blockade, such as intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) [8, 9].
The same pattern of increasing educational mobility prior to the economic crisis in the 1980s and a subsequent decrease was found by Binder and Woodruff (2002), who use different cohorts to estimate the intergenerational link.
