Knowledge graph centered on herbivore exclosure experiment (Plantae) with 34 nodes and 111 connections. Top connected: elevational gradients, antipredator behavior, reproductive success, Flowering phenology census, population dynamics.

Description

Factorial experiment using wire mesh and chicken wire fencing to exclude mammalian herbivores (ungulates and gophers) from transplanted alpine plants across elevational gradients. Plants monitored for damage, growth, and reproduction.

Typical Equipment

  • wire mesh
  • 20-gauge chicken wire
  • analytical balance
  • drying oven

Output Measurements

  • herbivory damage percentage
  • plant biomass
  • tiller number
  • inflorescence number
  • survival
