Protocols

Continuous collection of local weather data at 5-minute intervals throughout growing seasons to capture fine-scale environmental variation affecting disease dynamics.

Comprehensive measurement of leaf morphological, physiological, and chemical traits including stomatal conductance, leaf mass per area, nitrogen content, and spectral properties to characterize plant ...

Comprehensive measurement of soil nutrients, moisture, pH, topographic aspect, and interpolated climate variables to characterize abiotic conditions at vegetation sampling sites.

Continuous infrared thermal imaging of vegetation plots at 5-second intervals from sunrise to sunset using elevated FLIR cameras to capture leaf temperature dynamics across environmental gradients.
