Figure 5. Relation between warming-induced changes in species
dominance and warming-induced shifts in species-specific (A) flower
duration, (B) growing season length, (C) last flower and (D) leaf
senescence. Positive relations were observed between warming-induced
changes in species dominance and warming-induced shifts in flower
duration (Slope = 0.27, confidence interval (CI) = 0.20 to 0.35,p < 0.001, marginal R2 =
0.27), growing season length (Slope = 2.03, CI = 1.40 to 2.66, p< 0.001, R2 = 0.22), last flower
(Slope = 1.82, CI = 1.12 to 2.52, p < 0.001,R2 = 0.16) and leaf senescence (Slope = 2.02,
CI = 0.92 to 3.12, p < 0.001,R2 = 0.08). The solid lines denote significant
model slopes of the linear mixed effects models, and shaded areas show
the 95% CI for slops. Sk: Stipa krylovii . Pc: Poa
