Snowmelt manipulation using shade cloths
Shade cloths suspended 3m above treatment plots accelerate snowmelt by 5-7 days when snowpack reaches ~1m depth, simulating earlier spring snowmelt conditions. Cloths removed after complete treatment ...

Controlled frost sensitivity chamber experiment (Plantae)
Plant tissues are subjected to controlled freezing temperatures in a programmable chamber to determine frost damage thresholds. Temperatures are gradually reduced to simulate natural frost events, the...

Seed burial experiments
Seed-burial and greenhouse germination experiments to estimate seed bank-related vital rates including seed germination and stasis.
