Table 4. Analysis of Variance from Analyzing Residuals from Region-Specific Relationships (log(Chla)–log(TN) Relationship in Figure 11C) vs. log(TP) with an Intercept Specific to the Coastal Ecosystem, i.e., Residual = αecosystem + β × log(TP)a.

Residuals were weighted by the inverse variance of the annual Chla means.
