Figure 4. Total trace element distributions mapped in UTM coordinates.
Each map corresponds to a single element and single RMP sampling event.
The are af each square is proportional to the concentration, expressed
as a fraction of the largest value found in each sampling event.

Figure 5. Moran scatterplots for each trace element during sampling event
13. The dashed line is the linear regression line. The solid line is the
least trimmed squares regression line. Three points are designated by
their station codes rather than by circles. These have the three most
negative residuals with respect to the least trimmed squares line.

Figure 7. Trends in trace element totals during 1991-1995. Upright triangles
represent uptrends and inverted triangles represent downtrends. Weaker
trends (p>0.1) are designated by small triangles, stronger trends (p</=0.1)
by large triangles.
