Table 1 Summary statistics for parameters and matrices used in this study of samples collected along the flow-ways 1 and 3 flow-path transect within Stormwater Treatment Area-2. Summary statistics expressed as mean ± standard error (sample size). Matrices include surface water, soil flocculent material, recently accreted soil, and living aboveground biomass of sampled vegetation. Stoichiometric ratios are expressed as molar ratios and are unitless
