Factorial phenology-water manipulation of potted wildflowers

Local Knowledge Graph (39 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Factorial phenology-water manipulation of potted wildflowers with 39 nodes and 131 connections. Top connected: phenological mismatch, plant-pollinator mutualism, pollinator foraging behavior, phenotypic plasticity, pollinator observation.

Description

A factorial experiment manipulating both flowering phenology (by moving plants between elevations) and water availability (through differential watering regimes) using potted native plants in field arrays. Plants were held at high elevation to delay flowering, then moved to lower elevation in weekly cohorts to create staggered flowering times.

Typical Equipment

• 2-gallon plastic pots
• mesh shade-shelter
• Campbell Scientific HydroSense probe
• watering cans

Output Measurements

• flowering phenology
• soil moisture
• reproductive success
