Fig. 4 The reproductive phenology and senescence indicated by the coloured bar of the events: day to first flower emergence, day to first seed maturation from flowering, the duration of seed production – first to last seed maturation, and senescence from the last seed maturation. Numbers in white font (left) indicate the proportion of plants flowering and in black font (right) indicate the proportion of plants surviving. In the legend, bolded terms, i.e. developmental soil temperature, (SoilT) and germination strategy (GS) and asterisks indicate significance (Table 1, Table S2).
Table 1 Significance values for selected vegetative, reproductive and phenology traits analyses; full details in Supplement Table S2. Mixed models were used in which germination strategy (GS), i.e. Immediate (I), Staggered (S), Postponed (P), Postponed-deep (PD), and Soil Temperature (SoilT), i.e. Ambient (A) and Warm (W), were assigned as the fixed factors and population nested in block as random factor. Where appropriate, leaf number at the start of the experiment was added as a covariate in the analysis in addition to block/population (‡).
