Section: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

     DINOTEFURAN (DIN)

    Second paragraph.

 

Before correction:

 In the DIN predicted-distribution map (RMSE=0.98, ME=−0.07), the locations of rice paddy field and vegetable farms are concordant with higher concentrations of DIN (>30 ng/L) in the Northern Hida, Southern Seinou, Southern Gifu, and Southern Chuunou (Fig. 4).

 

After correction:

 In the DIN predicted-distribution map, the locations of rice paddy field and vegetable farms concordant with higher concentrations of DIN (>30 ng/L) in the Northern Hida, Southern Seinou, Southern Gifu, and Southern Chuunou (Fig. 4). The DIN predicted-distribution map with a root mean square standardized error (RMSSE) of 0.98, and mean error (ME) of −0.07, was more accurate prediction as it better modeled DIN distribution.
