Summary of long-term flowering data for Delphinium barbeyi at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory

Abstract

These data come from a long-term study (still in progress as of 2008) of the phenology and abundance of flowering at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory by David Inouye. Individual plots (e.g., Wet Meadow Plot #1) are 2x2m, and are visited every other day to count all flowers of all species. This file summarizes data from 1973-2007 for 14 plots, including: the first date of flowering, date of the peak number of flowers, date of the peak number of inflorescences, the peak number of flowers counted, the peak number of inflorescences counted, and the length of the flowering period.
