The timing of snowmelt is a critical cue for the initiation of growth in mountain meadow ecosystems and can also impact the duration and magnitude of plant production. High frequency observations of species-level phenology are time consuming and require a high degree of expertise, and publicly avail

This data package consists of soil temperature and soil water content sensor data from the warming experiment near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Data range is from summer 2015 to summer 2019, when the warming manipulation was terminated. The location of the warming experiment is in the u

The timing of snowmelt in mountain systems is a main driver of vegetation phenology and production, as well as recharge of soil moisture and ground water. Decreases in maximum snowpack and warmer spring temperatures have led to a higher frequency of early snowmelt. This study combines a natural elev

Stable water isotopes (d18O, d2H and d-excess) are important tracers in hydrologic research to understand water partitioning between vegetation, groundwater, and runoff but are rarely applied to large watersheds with persistent snowpack and complex topopgraphy. Data were collected for the Lawrence B

The lack of a special seed dispersal mechanism in E. grandiflorum is discussed in terms of a source-sink model for seedling establishment with respect to distance from the parental plants, which yields a more complete estimate of Wright's neighborhood size, Ne.

Events that follow pollination, such as pollen-tube growth and seed maturation, comprise an important phase of angiosperm reproduction. Differential success during this "postpollination" phase may represent phenotypic selection, including sexual selection, or interaction between parents caused, for

We used overhead infrared radiators to add a constant increment of °15 W/m2, over 2 yr, to the downward heat flux on five 30‐m2 montane meadow plots in Gunnison County, Colorado, USA. Heating advanced snowmelt by °1 wk, increased summer soil temperatures by up to 3°C, and reduced summer soil moistur

In experimentally heated plots that each span a soil moisture gradient in a Rocky Mountain meadow, aboveground biomass of Artemisia tridentata (a sagebrush) increased in the drier habitat and that of Pentaphylloides floribunda (a shrub cinquefoil) increased in the wetter habitat relative to control

Phytophagous insects that deposit eggs directly on hosts confront a plant world of variable quality. Some studies to date provide evidence for positive relationships between the site of oviposition and offspring success, as expected if females choose sites of high quality or if they or their offspri
