Fig. 3 The effect of developmental soil temperature (SoilT, x-axis) and germination strategy (GS) on reproductive stage across germination strategy indicated by mean ± SE: a) Soil warming reduced the total number of inflorescences produced by an individual for all except the immediate strategy, b) Soil warming reduced the total number of infructescence produced by an individual for all except the immediate strategy, and c) Seed mass differed among GS and seeds produced in the experiment had larger seeds than the field-collected seed (mother plant). Trans-generational stage d) Non-dormant seed fraction (autumn germination) was higher when seeds germinated at 25/15 °C (●— full line) than at 30/20 °C (▲– – dashed line); GS was conserved as indicated by the non-significant effect of soil warming. For the transgenerational stage, where we had GS, maternal soil temperature, and germination temperature as fixed factors, we only present the significant factors. Line colours represent GS: green (I: immediate), blue (S: staggered), red (P: postponed), yellow (PD: postponed-deep). Significance values are indicated by bolded terms and asterisk. * = significant at p <0.05, ** = significant at p <0.001.
