Increasing or decreasing trends in land cover are presented for two time windows: at the moment of hypoxia onset (±20 years centered on the moment of hypoxia onset) and before hypoxia onset (200 years preceding hypoxia onset). Numbers are color-coded to indicate when more than 40% of the sites showed an increase (red) or a decrease (blue) in urban, cultivated, or pastured area. The M-K tests presented in Fig. S3 confirm the increasing trends in urban area at the moment of hypoxia onset. Note that the urban area was generally increasing at the moment of hypoxia onset, whereas cultivated and pastured areas tended to be decreasing.
