Only significantly correlated environmental variables (Sig. variables) are shown along with the effect size (Exp. Variance) of each individual variable and the total effect size (all variables). Environmental variables included: depth, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a fluorescence, turbidity, CDOM, oxygen, density, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP).
