Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Under the RCP8.5 scenario, warming was projected to be greater.
- Observation Under the RCP8.5 scenario, ΔT was projected to be higher.
- Intervention effect Increasing ΔT decreased the base temperature and the thermal time required for seed germination of Carex diandra.
- Intervention effect Higher ΔT together with higher temperatures increased germination of Carex diandra under both climate scenarios.
- Recommendation The authors recommend comprehensive cardinal-temperature models that cover the different effects of temperature on germination to understand climate change effects on Carex diandra regeneration.
