Temperature response type characterization of each trait of all monitored species at the four study sites determined from short-term (ST, grey, 1994–2000) and long-term (LT, black, 2007–2012) observations.

Notes: Species are organized by site and by broad growth form: graminoids (G), forbs (F), and shrubs (S).Temperature response types used were: unresponsive (u), positively and dominantly controlled (++), positively and subordinately controlled (+), negatively and dominantly controlled (--), negatively and subordinately controlled (-), or inconsistent (+/-). In many cases the trait was not recorded or there was not enough data for a response type to be assigned (.).
