Table 5. Selection gradients of trait plasticities in response to temperature in Trifolium montanum, Ranunculus bulbosus and Briza media.

T. montanum R. bulbosus B. media
Total biomass Number of flowers Total biomass Number of flowers Above ground biomass
Growth rate 0.500 0.455 0.064 0.258 0.366
SLA 0.423 0.541 −1.380 −0.418 −0.577
Above-ground/total biomass −0.497 −0.189 −1.334 −0.450
Budding start 0.289 0.480 −0.171 0.315
Flowering start 0.307 0.380 0.039 1.156

Selection gradients are expressed as standardized regression coefficients. All values are based on population means. Fitness measures are total biomass and number of flowers (T. montanum, R. bulbosus) and above ground biomass (B. media). Non of the selection gradients was significant.
