Angelo Coast Range Reserve

02 Sep, 08 AM - 04 Sep, 11 AM

My research focuses on common native woody plants. I will sample Heteromeles an Arctostaphylos species on this trip. I use comparative ecophysiology to evaluate closely-related species endemic to contrasting environment and to evaluate ecotypes of common California native woody plants. My research will combine trait data gathered from field and common garden (UC Botanical Garden) conditions with manipulative experiments. On this trip I will be taking per-dawn and mid-day water potential measurements that require removing a small branchlet. I will also take one voucher specimen of each species to put in the Jepson Herbarium. I will also cut one to two 6-10 inch twigs off each plant to calculate woody density. In addition, I will install flagging and tags on 20 plants.
