Figure 4: Boxplots of responses in relative change in the number of species in plant functional groups in the alpine meadow.

(A) Cushions, (B) deciduous shrubs, (C) evergreens, (D) forbs, and (E) graminoids. Treatments: control (Control), constant warming enhancement using open-top chambers (OTC), a stepwise increase in the magnitude of warming (Press) and a single-summer high-impact warming event (Pulse). Boxplots show the 10th to 90th percentiles of the data; n = 4 plots per treatment.
