| Description | We describe continental-scale increases in lake and stream total phosphorus (TP) concentrations, identified through periodic probability surveys of thousands of water bodies in the conterminous U.S. The increases, observed over the period 2000–2014 were most notable in sites in relatively undisturbed catchments and where TP was initially low (e.g., less than 10 μg L–1). Nationally, the percentage of stream length in the U.S. with TP ≤ 10 μg L–1 decreased from 24.5 to 10.4 to 1.6% from 2004 to... |
