Frost sensitivity of leaves and flowers of subalpine plants is related to tissue type and phenology
Harsh abiotic conditions such as low temperatures that lead to spring and summer frost events in high-elevation and high-latitude ecosystems can have strong negative consequences for plant growth, survival, and reproduction. Despite the predicted increase in episodic frost events under continued cli
Shifts in water availability mediate plant-pollinator interactions
Altered precipitation patterns associated with anthropogenic climate change are expected to have many effects on plants and insect pollinators, but it is unknown if effects on pollination are mediated by changes in water availability. We tested the hypothesis that impacts of climate on plant pollina
Experimental frost damage data for eight subalpine plant species
This file contains data on the frost damage of eight subalpine plant species from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado (USA). These frost damage data can be used to calculate frost sensitivity for each species. Frost damage of plant tissue was determined after specimen were exposed to experimental temper
