Extended Data Table 3 Projected future extension of the period of vegetation activity

From: Ecosystem warming extends vegetation activity but heightens vulnerability to cold temperatures

  1. The model is based on linear extrapolation of experimental results, using CMIP5 climate projections. Temperature sensitivities are derived from Fig. 2; total projected active season extension is the product of the temperature sensitivity of total active season length multiplied by the mean projected temperature increase (decadal means, relative to 2006–2015). Uncertainties in active season extension represent the uncertainty in the climate projections (s.d. across ten models) rather than the uncertainty in the temperature sensitivities.
