Marmot capture history data and growing season length data

Seasonal environmental conditions shape the behavior and life history of virtually all organisms. Climate change is modifying these seasonal environmental conditions, which threatens to disrupt population dynamics. It is conceivable that climatic changes may be beneficial in one season but result in

Anion Data for the East River Watershed, Colorado (2014-2022)

The anion data for the East River Watershed, Colorado, consists of fluoride, chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate concentrations collected at multiple, long-term monitoring sites that include stream, groundwater, and spring sampling locations. These locations represent important and/or unique e

Experimental test of the combined effects of water availability and flowering time on pollinator visitation and seed set

Climate change is likely to alter both flowering phenology and water availability for plants. Either of these changes alone can affect pollinator visitation and plant reproductive success. The relative impacts of phenology and water, and whether they interact in their impacts on plant reproductive s

Transgenerational and within-generation plasticity in response to climate change: insights from a manipulative field experiment across an elevational gradient

Parental environmental effects-or transgenerational plasticity-can influence an individual's phenotype or fitness yet remain underexplored in the context of global change. Using the perennial self-pollinating plant Boechera stricta, we explored the effects of climate change on transgenerational and

Floral Albedo as a Response Factor of Climate Change, A case study in <i>Helianthella quinquenervis</i>

Because phenology and climate are linked, studying the consequences of shifting phenology can help scientists understand the systems that make up current climates and construct future ones. In the Rocky Mountains, climate change has led to earlier snowmelt, an event that triggers the start of the gr

A Comparative Analysis of Saxicolous Lichen Diversity and Cover along an Elevation Gradient on Talus Slopes in Gunnison National Forest to Infer Possible Climate Change Effects

Climate change in Colorado has already increased temperatures by 2 ℉ and is predicted to continue to rise. Precipitation during winter months is predicted to increase, while projected precipitation for the spring, summer and fall is still uncertain. It is important to understand how saxicolous liche

Climate Change Affects Boechera stricta Genotypes Through Local Maladaptation

As environments continue to change, plant communities will increasingly be pressured to adapt to their environment to maintain fitness levels. The most common release of climatic stressor result in range shifts and changes in phenology for plants. Boechera stricta, a perennial forb native to a range

Phenological responses to multiple environmental drivers under climate change: insights from a long-term observational study and a manipulative field experiment

Abstract Climate change has induced pronounced shifts in the reproductive phenology of plants, with the timing of first flowering advancing in most species. Indeed, population persistence may be threatened by the inability to track climate change phenologically. Nevertheless, substantial variation e

Multitrophic interactions mediate the effects of climate change on herbivore abundance

Observational and experimental results show the importance of multitrophic species interactions for predicting the effect of climate change on the abundances of herbivores.

Plant-pollinator interactions under climate change: the use of spatial and temporal transplants

Climate change is affecting both the timing of life history events and the spatial distributions of many species, including plants and pollinators. Shifts in phenology and range affect not only individual plant and pollinator species but also interactions among them, with possible negative consequen

Confounding effects of spatial variation on shifts in phenology

Shifts in the timing of life history events have become an important source of information about how organisms are responding to climate change. Phenological data have generally been treated as purely temporal, with scant attention to the inherent spatial aspects of such data. However, phenological

Investigating the influences of climate on the high elevation snowpack hydrology in the upper Colorado region.

A change in climate in the western United States has already affected and will continue to affect the onset of snow melt in many parts of the country. The effect of climate change on snow water equivalent, snowmelt runoff and total streamflow with respect to their elevation distribution is examined

Productivity of Montane Meadows in a Warming World: Evidence from an Elevation Gradient and a Warming Experiment

Climate change is expected to disproportionately impact high elevation ecosystems by disrupting current temperature and precipitation regimes. The future carbon balance of these systems is uncertain, given the interplay between longer growing season length and the potential for increased drought. Cu
