  1. Numbers in the upper diagonal were calculated with the Liangyoupeijiu (n = 72) dataset and numbers in the lower diagonal were calculated with the combined data of Liangyoupeijiu, Nanjing45 and Nanjing46 in 2011 (n = 240).
  2. **indicate the significance at P < 0.01, *indicate the significance at P < 0.05.
