The air temperature in the experimental field on the diurnal measurement days ranged from 21 to 27 C on 24 DAT and from
25 to 32 C on 41 and 76 DAT (Fig. 3f). Air temperature was higher between 10.00 h and 16.00 h and lower between 6.00 h
and 8.00 h and between 18.00 h and 22.00 h. Soil temperaturesduring one-point measurements for the entire growing seasonranged between 19 and 30 C (Fig. 4 and 5). The average monthlyair temperature across the WRGS ranged between 20 and 32 C
