Buk 2 and Buk 3 ponds correspond to the water reservoirs sampled in the study area of Bukowno–Bolesław (Southern Poland). Extractions were carried out with 30 % H2O2, alone as well as in sequence with 0.43 mol L−l CH3COOH

[Sq]: extraction in sequence scheme; [S]: single extraction. Data are presented in mg kg−1 dry weight, as mean (n = 4) and standard deviations in parentheses
