  1. aDouglas-fir diurnal phase values expressed as clock hours, where sunrise occurred at 6:44 AM, and the photoperiod was 12:50 in length. Arabidiopsis thaliana phase estimates were reported as hours from ZT (lights on), based on a 12 h photoperiod [7]; to make units comparable, we added 7 h to Arabidiopsis phase values to approximate sunrise (in clock hours) in our study. Cryptomeria japonica phase estimates were reported in clock hours [31]
  2. bAnnual phase values are expressed in experiment days (days after 29-October)
  3. cProfiles identified as not significantly rhythmic by JTK_CYCLE are noted “n.s
