  1. The test was performed to detect the effect of factors Incubation day and Treatment on gas fluxes from sediment core incubations. Meaning of statistical variables: df is degree of freedom; H refers to the value of the Scheirer-Ray-Hare test; P < 0.05 represents significant differences, while P > 0.05 represents no significant differences.
