The effects of snowmelt date, soil moisture, and precipitation on nectar and floral morphology of Ipomopsis

Climate change is putting montane plant species at risk that rely on historical patterns of precipitation and snowmelt timing. Floral traits, such as nectar production and morphology can be impacted by water availability. Hybridization of plants has the potential to provide adaptation to climate cha

The role of soil in regulating plant performance in Valeriana edulis

Climate change is currently shifting the ranges of plant species, and while climate-based variables trigger migration, sessile plants may reach an expansion limit due to variations in the characteristics of local soils. To better understand the effects of soil on plant performance, we paired 13 year

Spatially distributed snow depth, bulk density, and snow water equivalent from ground-based and airborne sensor integration at Grand Mesa, Colorado, USA

Abstract. Estimating snow mass in the mountains remains a major challenge for remote-sensing methods. Airborne lidar can retrieve snow depth, and some promising results have recently been obtained from spaceborne platforms, yet density estimates are required to convert snow depth to snow water equiv

Soluble Soils: A Review of Engineering Assessments and Their Use in the Moab Valley

The Uncompahgre Uplift within the Colorado Plateau contains several salt anticline valleys. The Moab Valley is situated within one of these valleys which formed as the underlying salt member of the Paradox Formation migrated. As the unit migrated, the resulting collapse of the valley left behind sur

Optimizing Field-linked simulations of dry season uptake and monsoon infiltration within an aspen-mixed conifer forest

Climate models forecast that headwater catchments in the western U.S. will undergo a reduction in snowpack, early season snowmelt, and increases in evapotranspiration. The resulting extended dry season will stress vegetation in mountainous watersheds throughout the Upper Colorado River Basin. We inv
