Description

Weekly monitoring of alpine plant flowering phenology coupled with snowmelt date recording to assess environmental effects on plant reproductive timing. Focuses on species-specific responses to fine-scale environmental heterogeneity.

Typical Equipment

  • field notebooks
  • GPS units
  • phenology recording sheets

Output Measurements

  • first flowering date
  • peak flowering date
  • peak flowering amount
  • flowering duration
  • snowmelt date
