The dataset contains region of interest (ROI) polygons for six treeline species found in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO. The tree and shrub species include limber pine (Pinus flexilis), willow (Salix glauca, Salix brachycarpa, and hybrids), Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii), subalpine fir (Abie

Quantitative plant abundance data were collected from the same 121 sites at two time periods separated by 65 years (1948-1952 and 2012-2014) in the Colorado Rocky Mountains to examine changes in plant community composition. The sites range in elevation from 2600m to 4100m. Approximately 30 sites wer

This data package contains text files that describe geochemical measurements collected from 2017-2019 during isolated conifer needle decomposition field studies in Crested Butte, Colorado. The geochemical measurements were collected across three elevations (2,800 3,500 m) ranging from montane to sub

Changing phenological cues can lead to trophic mismatch for plants and herbivores, and this often shifts herbivore feeding to plant stages of lower quality. Temperature can also mediate how herbivores respond to plant quality, leading to temperature-by-phenology interactions. We examined how both te

Though rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesized to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by transplanting plants below (novel), at the edge (limit), or in the center (core) of

These are the data with the accompanying R code used in the article Long-term changes in flowering synchrony reflect climatic changes across an elevational gradient , by Fisogni A, de Manincor N, Bertelsen CD, and Rafferty NE. We provide the raw data on flowering phenology, temperature and precipita

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

Phylogenetic relationships may underlie species-specific phenological sensitivities to abiotic variation and may help to predict these responses to climate change. Although shared evolutionary history may mediate both phenology and phenological sensitivity to abiotic variation, few studies have expl

Climate change is expected to alter patterns of species co-occurrence, in both space and time. Species-specific shifts in reproductive phenology may alter the assemblages of plant species in flower at any given time during the growing season. Temporal overlap in the flowering periods (co-flowering)
