Description
A factorial experiment manipulating both flowering phenology (by moving plants between elevations) and water availability (through differential watering regimes) using potted native plants in field arrays. Plants were held at high elevation to delay flowering, then moved to lower elevation in weekly cohorts to create staggered flowering times.
Typical Equipment
- 2-gallon plastic pots
- mesh shade-shelter
- Campbell Scientific HydroSense probe
- watering cans
Output Measurements
- flowering phenology
- soil moisture
- reproductive success
