C-D, samples of area C in December; P-D, samples of area P in December; G-D, samples of area G in December; C-J, samples of area C in January; P-J, samples of area P in January; G-J, samples of area G in January; C-M, samples of area C in May; P-M, samples of area P in May; G-M, samples of area G in May. The closer the R-value is to 1, the greater the distance between groups relative to the distance within groups. p-Value < 0.05 indicates significant differences between and within groups.
