Description
Experimental manipulation of summer precipitation levels (doubled, halved, ambient) to assess effects on plant physiological and fitness traits in a common garden setting over multiple years.
Typical Equipment
- precipitation manipulation system
- leaf area measurement tools
- growth measurement equipment
- water-use efficiency measurement apparatus
- biomass measurement tools
- flower counting equipment
- morphological measurement instruments
Output Measurements
- relative growth rate
- specific leaf area
- water-use efficiency
- survival probability
- biomass
- flower number
- floral morphology
