Note: SD = standard deviation; χ² = chi-square; Φ = effect size; H = Kruskal-Wallis. M = Bonferroni post hoc is statistically significant with Mulhacén. MP = Bonferroni post hoc is statistically significant with Monte Perdido. A = Bonferroni post hoc is statistically significant with Aneto. PE = Bonferroni post hoc is statistically significant with Pica d’Estats. P = Bonferroni post hoc is statistically significant with Pedraforca. (1) These data were calculated for a n = 368.
