Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Description

Decomposition of total seed production into four multiplicative components: flower number, fruit set, seed set, and seed escape from predation. Allows identification of which reproductive stages are most sensitive to environmental variation.

Typical Equipment

• collection containers
• seed counting materials

Output Measurements

• flowers per plant
• fruits per flower
• seeds per fruit
• undamaged seeds per plant
• total seeds per plant
