Fig. 3: Temperature sensitivities (ST, change in days per degree Celsius) of start of season (SOS) in current year in response to increasing temperature during previous growing season.

From: Warming-induced increase in carbon uptake is linked to earlier spring phenology in temperate and boreal forests

Fig. 3

a The ST based upon PhenoCam data in deciduous broadleaf and evergreen needleleaf forests. b The ST based upon GIMMS NDVI3g data in boreal and temperate forests. The black dash lines indicate when ST equals zero. In the box plots, the box spans from the first to the third quartile and the median is marked as the black line. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test was used to test the differences in the ST between vegetation types, and two-sided test was used to calculate P values, the “ns” means no significant difference between groups (P > 0.05). The sample size and calculated P values were listed in Supplementary Tables 2, 3.
