Sensitivity analysis results for Miscanthus sacchariflorus and M. sinensis indicating the proportional change in area from that of the baseline model global distribution for each category of ecoclimatic index (EI) modelled using CLIMEX software.

aParameter value used in the sensitivity analysis. The percent change from the original model parameter value was 10%, except for temperature variables, which were changed by 1°C and for which percent change is indicated in parentheses. Changing temperature variables by 10% gave qualitatively similar results (data not shown).Parameter values were each decreased and increased by 10% from the baseline value (Table 1) unless indicated otherwisea. Changes in area that exceed the percent change in parameter value are shown in boldface font; positive and negative proportions respectively indicate increases and decreases in area.
