Chart of predicted estrogenic activity concentrations at different combinations of low and high agricultural land use (Ag) and best management practice intensity (BMP)
By Chesapeake Bay Activities
December 2022 (approx.)
Detailed Description
Predicted estrogenic activity concentrations at different combinations of low and high agricultural land use (Ag) and best management practice intensity (BMP) in the upstream watershed. “Low” and “high” correspond to the minimum and maximum values observed in the dataset. Squares are means and vertical bars are 90% credible intervals. Dashed line represents the 1.0 ng/L effects-based threshold (EBT).
