Flores, A., C. Tweedie, L. Gonzalez, C. Laney, and R. Luna. 2022. Systems Ecology Lab Bajada Site: Weekly phenology observations of shrub and grass species at a bajada site at Jornada Basin LTER from 2010-2019 ver 5.

This dataset contains field-observed plot level phenology data for
three perennial shrubs and one perennial grass at a bajada site at
the Jornada Basin LTER site from 2010 to present. Shrubs include
creosote (Larrea tridentata), honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa),
and tarbush (Fluorensia). The grass is bush muhly grass
(Muhlenbergia porteri). The protocols and phenophase categories were
developed by the US National Phenology Network (US-NPN) to detect
the different life-cycles of the plant, from leaf development
(breaking leaf buds, young unfolded leaves, percentage of leaves in
canopy), to flower development (flower buds, open flowers, full
flowering), and presence of fruit (ripe fruits, fruits from past
growing season). Field data sheets were modified from the US-NPN to
record the presence or absence of each phenophase recorded at each
observation period for each tagged plant. This dataset is complete.
