For mean values, different letters indicate significant differences among status (Fisher’s LSD test, α = 0.05).

‘**’Indicates significance at p < 0.01 and ‘*’ at p < 0.05.

Relative to mean biomass per year (winter 222 and 168 g m−1 and spring 1,174 and 887 g m−1 in 2014 and 2016, respectively).

NS, not significant.
