AaBbCcDd Values within the same row (day) with different capital letters (A–D) are significantly different at the 5% level, indicating differences between treatments (see Table S17). AaBbCcDd Values within the same column (treatment) with different small letters (a–d) are significantly different at the 5% level, indicating changes over time for the same treatment (see Table S18).
