Fig. 3: Timepoints related to growth and senescence for different growing season lengths (GSL).
From: Growth of alpine grassland will start and stop earlier under climate warming
Peak green leaf length and senescence down to 50% browning for the dominant species Carex curvula, peak canopy greenness of the entire community and its decline to 50% and the onset of growth, highest growth rate, 50% and 80% seasonal growth for roots. GSL amounted to 238 d (+4 m), 174 d (+2 m), 109 d (field 2020) and 103 d (field 2021). Grey points show data for each monolith and field plot (8 monoliths for +4 m and +2 m and five field plots), colored points refer to mean ± SE (SE smaller than points are not visible).
