ANOVA P <0.0001 (***) 0.0003 (***) 0.5746 (ns)

Data in columns (means ± S.D.) were analyzed using ANOVA (ns, no significant influence of sampling date on the parameter;

***

, highly significant influence). Means flanked with different letters are significantly different at p = 0.05 (Bonferroni's post-hoc multiple comparison test).
