Figure 3

The mean daily air temperature (at 1.5 m) and maximum daily soil temperature (at ‐10 cm) for 2011 up to the dates of the appearance of the first leaves with ligules for the four genotypes. For Gig‐311, new buds from the rhizome emerged above the ground (stage NEB) on day 76 but did not produce the first leaves with ligules (stage FLL) until day 102 (vertical lines on the figure). The horizontal lines on the figure are at 0, 6 and 10 °C. 10 °C is thought to be the base temperature for canopy expansion (T b) of Gig‐311 whilst 6 °C is the lowest T b currently recorded for Miscanthus.
