M. sinensis Altitude Study: Environmental Impact & Growth

ComGard PP-5
Misi across Altitude

Fig.1 Characteristic of
study site
Sapporo is located in a cold temperate
snowfall environment.
When compare the different of Misi
collected , the low temperature was
associated with high Lat and Long.

Misi used were collected from different habitat
across Lat gradien. In comparison with environmental
conditions in sapporo , where is located the study, It
is apperear that, Misi from habitat at high latitude
have more rainfall, longer sunshine and warm
climate. Houwever, their different altitude did not
determin clear difference in term of temperature.

In comparison, environmental condition of study site
shows difference with habitat where Misi were
collected in terme of rainfall, sunshine duration,
ltemperature, atitude, longitude and altitidue.
