  1. The two environmental rooms were computer-controlled in real-time to simulate current environmental conditions and the extreme climate scenario (RCP8.5, plus 4.5 °C and 900 ppm CO2) as proposed by IPCC (2014) for the year 2100.
  2. *indicates significant difference from current scenario (Student’s t-test, p > 0.05).
