Method synopsis

Vegetation composition and diversity are compared between paired 1m² plots with and without Castilleja presence to assess community-level effects of parasitism. Plots are positioned as close as possible while maintaining treatment differences.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 4 papers using this protocol.

• transect markers
• 1m x 1m quadrat frames
• plot markers
• field guides
• hand lenses
• data sheets
