Note that gaseous iodine was not captured by the present sampling.
The results of the present sampling campaign were compared to two existing datasets collected at the same CSW after three years of operation in 1997 and nine years of operation in 2003.
About 604, 500, and 353 (P < 0.05) samples would be needed a number of years later if the SOC change was supposedly 1.52 g kg−1, based on the CVs of SOC acquired from the present sampling densities of D14, D68, and D525, respectively.
However, putatively F1 sterile hybrid taxa are not included in the present sampling because of the difficulty in complete collection.
Although, we failed to capture a substantial amount of population diversity through the present sampling, it remains unlikely that sampling artefacts alone can account for similar intraspecific divergences found among freshwater and marine species.
However, we concentrated the present sampling on high coverage for the flora because a sampling strategy that includes multiple collections of some taxa while leaving many completely unsampled makes little sense for the discussion of marker discrimination ability in a local context.
