Figure 7

Simulated response of maximum LAI, final biomass and grain yield at Shizukuishi (a) and Wuxi (b) for models with different approaches to calculating LAI. Data are expressed as a ratio to response at 367 µmol mol−1. At each site, all variables are significantly different between model types (P < 0.05 for biomass at Wuxi and P < 0.001 for all other variables). The main effect of N or interactions between N and model type were not significant for any variables. Letters with different letters beside the bar indicate that the between-group is different at P = 0.05, by the Tukey b method (Wholly Significant Difference).
