Description

A factorial greenhouse experiment testing effects of 3°C warming and species interactions on biomass production of a hemiparasitic plant and its grass host. Plants were grown in ambient vs. warmed greenhouse bays under controlled conditions for 70 days.

Typical Equipment

  • greenhouse bays
  • supplemental lights (Pro 1000° 120/240 DE US, Gavita Holland bv)
  • data loggers (HOBO MX2302, Onset)
  • dissecting microscope
  • drying oven
  • precision balance (0.1 mg)

Output Measurements

  • aboveground biomass
  • belowground biomass
  • root:shoot ratios
  • haustorial connection counts
