Extended Data Fig. 5

Effects of warming on plant height and abundance at different plant (shrub, graminoid, moss and lichen) dominated sites. Data are presented as mean values ± 95% CIs. The values next to the bars in parentheses are the corresponding effect size (left) and the number of sites (right) in each group. p values are derived from the meta-analysis by using the inverse-variance method under a random-effects model. Plant height is defined as the shortest distance between the upper boundary (the highest point) of the main photosynthetic tissues and the ground level, and plant abundance is defined by biomass, frequency, cover, or point-frame hits.
