Method synopsis

Assessment of female reproductive success in relation to pollen availability indices to understand how sex ratio changes affect population-level reproduction.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Sex-specific responses to climate change in plants alter population sex ratios and performance. (2016), Science. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Assess pollen availability effects
   Measured response of female seedset to an index of pollen availability within range of pollen movement. Estimated mean pollen availability for the range of contemporary OSRs observed across V. edulis elevation range and expected OSRs in year 2100.
   Quantities: Range of OSRs from contemporary surveys to projected 2100 valuesDuration: Not specifiedConditions: During pollination period
   Equipment: pollen availability assessment tools
