<li>SiteName (the Site where the measurement was collected) </li>
<li>DateChla (date the chlorophyll-a measurement was collected) </li>
<li>Year (Year of collection) </li>
<li>Month (Month of collection) </li>
<li>Chla ( mg chlorophyll-a per square meter) </li>
<li>NOxppb (Nitrous oxide parts per billion) </li>
