Description

Twice weekly censuses recording plant vital status, reproductive phenology, and fitness components including flower and fruit production. Weekly assessments of herbivore damage quantify leaf area removal.

Typical Equipment

  • calipers
  • measuring tape
  • data sheets

Output Measurements

  • survival probability
  • reproductive status
  • fecundity
  • herbivore damage
  • plant size
