Knowledge graph centered on Systematic grid demographic monitoring of aspen with 71 nodes and 133 connections. Top connected: Ligusticum porteri, Spruce, Erigeron, Populus, Populus tremuloides.
Systematic establishment of gridded plots across watersheds followed by long-term monitoring of tagged individual trees for mortality and recruitment rates. Combined with environmental characterization of each plot.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 6 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Cytotype and genotype predict mortality and recruitment in Colorado quaking aspen (<i> Populus tremuloides </i>) (2021), Ecological Applications. The protocol was originally introduced by What determines the distribution of red-naped sapsuckers in the East River Valley? (2008). Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
