Note. Data presented as numerical means with the range in brackets. Statistical differences (p < 0.05) were determined using the log transformed means (geometrical means, GM). Means (within rows) with the same lowercase letter in bold indicates a significantly difference (p < 0.05) between the different Provinces. n = sample size.
