Description

A factorial field experiment manipulating snowmelt timing using black shade cloth and summer precipitation using rainout shelters in a split-plot design to simulate climate change effects.

Typical Equipment

  • black shade cloth
  • rainout shelter
  • mock shelter structure

Output Measurements

  • snowmelt date
  • summer precipitation amount
  • soil moisture
