【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: Environmental scientists are expected to provide interpretations about patterns across broad scales of space and time, but face the challenge that the environment can vary at smaller spatial scales than commonly recognised. We described spatial and temporal variability in nutrients and associated environmental parameters at sites associated with historical impacts to assess appropriate monitoring practices. Sites were selected on the basis of past research into nutrient-driven habitat change. Temporal variability was examined using a nested sampling design (i.e. days within weeks, weeks within months) that included monitoring nutrients and environmental parameters such as secchi depth, chlorophyll
