Fig. 1. Box-and-whisker plots for mean temperatures, daylength, solar radiation and total season precipitation for the 28 experiments from 11 locations considered in the simulations with the CSM-CROPGRO-Soybean model and the regressions. The lower and upper limits of the boxes indicate the first and third quartiles, and the T-bars indicate the minimum and maximum values.
