“…The Mann-Kendall test outdistances other nonparametric trend tests due to its simplicity and wide scope of application (Tosunoglu and Kisi, 2017). It is widely used in hydrological analyses (Rutkowska, 2013;Stasik, Kęsicka and Korytowski, 2020;Tadesse and Dinka, 2022], climate change analyses (Azizzadeh and Javan, 2015;Skowera et al, 2015;Bougara et al, 2021;Gadedjisso-Tossou, Adjegan and Kablan, 2021), and water (Rogora et al, 2015;Zeleňáková, Purcz and Oravcová, 2015;Dąbrowska et al, 2016;Kanownik, Policht-Latawiec and Fudała, 2019) and air quality analyses (Wang et al, 2022).…”
