It should be noted that a trend lower than the effect size may be significant in a single data set (Sb, As), but the chance to detect this trend in all possible trials, with samples of the same size and variance, from the same population, would be less than 80%, i.e., the statistical power will be less than 80%.

Monitoring of Pb concentrations in moss Pleurozium schreberi and Hylocomium splendens in Sweden showed a highly significant decrease 1975–2015 and a spatial pattern with clearly lower levels to the north and northwest and locally higher levels on the eastern coast (Danielsson and Pihl Karlsson 2016 ).
We hypothesized that ingestion of lead from ammunition by eagle owl is limited in Sweden and that Pb concentrations in eagle owl liver would reflect a decreasing trend in environmental exposure following the large-scale phase-out of lead in petrol.
