Average concentrations in the same column and same family, followed by a common letter, are not significantly different (p ≤ 0.05); F = Family; Mean values are expressed in µg g−1 ± standard deviation or in mg g−1 ± standard deviation such as Ca and K; BDL = Below the Detection Limit; Value in parentheses: concentration of each element into the infusion, expressed as mg L−1; all the analysis were performed in triplicate (n = 3); Elemental solubility expressed in %.
