Nonmetric multidimensional scaling of data.
Non-Euclidean Bray-Curtis distances were calculated based on the following variables: Depth (m), Distance from the Maumee River (km), Distance from the Detroit River (km), chlorophyll α (μg g-1), phycocyanin (μg g-1), PON (μg N g-1), POC (μg C g-1), TP (μg P g-1), and (a) total Microcystis (cell equivalents g-1) or (b) potentially-toxic Microcystis (cell equivalents g-1).
