Method synopsis
Weekly monitoring of plant phenology, morphological traits, and density across an elevational gradient to assess phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental conditions. Uses standardized phenological staging and morphometric measurements.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 9 papers using this protocol.
Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation
Seeds collected from natural populations spanning a broad elevational gradient from 2499-3530 m a.s.l. around the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado, United States. One family per source population was collected to capture genetic variation in resource acquisition and allocation strategies.
Quantities: 35 families collected, one family per source population across 800+ meter elevation gradientDuration: Single collection periodConditions: Natural field conditions at various elevations in Rocky Mountains
