Data represent average values (n = 5) ± standard error.
Different small caps letters indicate significant differences among the different experimental treatments, according to Tukey b or to Dunn-Bonferroni a posteriori tests. Significant effect: p-value ≤ 0.05.
Data were not analyzed by a two-way ANOVA as data in the non-contaminated soil were below detection limit.
Data below the detection limit (DL). Not included in the statistical analysis.
