Description

Comparative field study using paired plots in different habitat types (understory vs open meadow) to measure environmental conditions, floral resources, and pollinator visitation during drought conditions. Each site contains one plot of each habitat type to control for spatial variation.

Typical Equipment

  • densitometer
  • handheld infrared thermometer
  • soil corer
  • tape recorder

Output Measurements

  • canopy cover percentage
  • leaf temperature
  • soil moisture percentage
  • floral abundance
  • pollinator visitation time
