Note: Winter samples were not used in the comparisons due to limited sample size. LOD, limit of detection; NA, not available; n, number of samples. ap < 0.05 for differences between groups (Kruskal–Wallis test). bFor these samples, the calculated mean and standard deviations include substituted values < LOD.
