�Mean (� SE) surface, mid, and bottom phosphorus concentrations (ppb)
SITE 3
SITE 1
These two figures have phosphorus concentration in ppb on the y-axis and month on the x-axis. They depict surface, mid, and bottom total phosphorus means for sites 1 and 3 respectively. If we focus for now on the site 1 graph, the top graph, we see a large increase in bottom total P concentrations from June to August, confirming that the decreasing bottom DO concentrations that we saw earlier are leading to increased P release from sediments.
