Trend analysis was performed by applying a LOWESS fit (tension 0.4) to a time scatterplot
of the percentage cover of thick mats, and long filaments of periphyton for all sites and by
testing the significance of any trend using the Mann-Kendall test at the 5% level, followed by
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) analysis.
