“a decreasing trend”

Although the total area of aquatic ecosystems in the Shandong Province shows an increasing trend from 2000 to 2020 (see Table S9 ), the area of the natural aquatic ecosystem (i.e., lake ecosystem) shows a decreasing trend from 2000 to 2020 (−13%) (see Table S9 ), which may result in the homogeneity of ecosystem functions, consequently opposite to maintaining the functions of the aquatic ecosystems and to ensuring the sustainable use of water bodies in the long run.

Although we had observed a decreasing trend in TIA incident at a State level ( 6 ), we did not observe any trend over a 10-year period at a regional level.

Plasma lipids parameters As shown in Figure 3 , blood TG ( Figure 3A ), LDL ( Figure 3B ), and TC ( Figure 3C ) levels in grass carp presented a decreasing trend as the levels of FA supplementation increased, whereas HDL levels ( Figure 3D ) showed an opposite trend.

As the number of classes increased, the log-likelihood ratio showed a rising trend, whereas the information criterion indexes showed a decreasing trend.

, using the EuResist database, examined trends of TDR and acquired drug resistance (ADR) in Europe in 1981–2019, comparing late presenters (LP) and non-late presenters (NLP), finding a decreasing trend in both TDR and ADR, and similar TDR frequencies and mutation profiles in LP and NLP.

When we focused on the HCP model unit of the PS beads in the photonic organogel, the orientations of the adjacent PS beads along the [010] and [110] directions were asymmetric ( Figure 6 a ); therefore, when uniaxial strain was induced, the strain distribution was not uniform, with the strain value showing a decreasing trend from the edge to the center of the elastomer.
