Fig. 4: Effects of plant functional types (PFTs) on leaf physiological responses to experimental warming.

a–f Mean effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for comparisons between PFTs: herbs versus woody species, shrubs versus trees, broadleaf trees versus conifers, deciduous versus evergreen broadleaf trees, C3 herbs versus C4 herbs, and annual herbs versus perennial herbs. Points show mean effect sizes, and error bars indicate 95% CIs. Effect sizes are considered significant when their 95% CIs do not overlap zero. Numbers below indicate sample sizes. Between-group heterogeneity was assessed using the omnibus test of meta-regressions with an intercept. Significance levels are denoted as †0.05 <p < 0.1, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. Trait abbreviations are as in Fig. 1. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
