Description

Weekly monitoring of plant phenology, morphological traits, and density across an elevational gradient to assess phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental conditions. Uses standardized phenological staging and morphometric measurements.

Typical Equipment

  • GeoXT GPS device
  • 1m² quadrat frames
  • measuring tools for diameter and height

Output Measurements

  • phenological stage
  • plant density
  • rosette diameter
  • stem height
  • branch counts
  • fruit number
