Description

Systematic assessment of flower color variation across environmental gradients using standardized color categories and plot-based sampling. Combines phenotypic scoring with environmental variable measurement to detect correlations.

Typical Equipment

  • measuring tape
  • color categorization guide
  • plant labels
  • elevation measuring device
  • compass
  • pH meter
  • soil sampling tools

Output Measurements

  • flower color scores
  • elevation
  • aspect
  • slope
  • percent cover
  • plant density
