Turf Transplant species composition, 2024 - ongoing.

The Turf Transplant Experiment was set up in the summer of 2024.
Paired experimental sites were established in two tundra community
types - dry meadow and moist meadow - with one site of each
community type pair in a lower elevation/warmer area and one site in
a higher elevation/cooler area. Subplot turfs (25 cm^2) were
transplanted (1) between sites of the same community type at
different elevations/temperatures, (2) between plots within the same
site or (3) left in place as non-transplant controls. Plant species composition was measured once per year at
approximately peak flowering.
