For each month, leaf water contents (%) are along first row and SPAD measurements (month to February 2012) are along second row. Data are means (leaf water contents; with 95% confidence intervals given in parentheses) or estimated marginal means (SPAD measurements). Similarities of means along a row (from post-hoc tests) indicated by superscripted letters.
