Figure 4: Mean germination (%) from seeds in two different salinity levels at ambient (left panel) and thermally affected sites (right panel) averaged over both sampling years.
Binomial regression (Table 2) highlighted seeds sourced from thermally affected sites were 245% more likely to germinate compared to seeds sourced from ambient locations when holding temperature constant (95% CI [0.449, 1.339]).
Table 2: Multiple binomial logistic regression performed on individual seed data highlighting germination probability for Zostera muelleri seeds sourced from ambient locations and thermally affected locations, subjected to four different temperature treatments (16 °C, 20 °C, 24 °C, 28 °C). Bolded values are significant.
