Earlier flowering explains only a small part of experimental drought's effects on a wildflower's population growth

Scott W. Nordstrom, Jenna A. Loesberg, Piper Battersby, Jennifer L. Williams

This study examines how experimental drought affects a wildflower's population growth by analyzing flowering phenology and demographic data over multiple years.
