Alpha diversity estimators. A Chao1 estimator, B Shannon index, C Gini-Simpson index. Boxes represent the 25th to 75th percentiles, and whiskers extend to the smallest and largest values. Groupwise comparisons were performed per diversity index by the Kruskal‒Wallis test, Mann‒Whitney U test, and post hoc Benjamini‒Hochberg adjustment (α = 0.05). Different superscript letters indicate significant differences between groups per sampling day. p ≤ 0.05, n = 20.
