Description
A 2×2 factorial experiment combining passive warming using open-top chambers with dominant plant species removal across elevational gradients at multiple global mountain sites to test interactive effects of warming and species loss on ecosystem function.
Typical Equipment
- transparent hexagonal open-top chambers (OTCs)
- iButtons (Thermochron & Hygrochron ibuttons, Maxim Integrated Corp., San Jose, CA, USA)
- hand-clipping tools
Output Measurements
- air temperature
- soil temperature
- plant community composition
- ecosystem function metrics
