Alpine Plant Phenology

Alpine Plant Phenology

We are monitoring phenology of alpine vegetation at two scales to be related to climate change, pollinators, and alpine birds to report on the condition and trend of alpine ecosystems in Jasper National Park. Daily timelapse images from remote cameras at 16 randomly-selected alpine sites throughout the park are being used to collect seasonal metrics from landscape-level greenness curves and species-level flowering data.
