Do alpine seeds like the cold?

To answer this question, Alec Chiono of the Emery Lab is working with Alex Seglias at the Denver Botanic Garden to understand how winter temperatures influence seed germination dynamics of alpine plant populations. This project, initiated through the Niwot Ridge Long-Term Ecological Research Program, provides an exciting opportunity to leverage the world-class germplasm resources of the DBG and long-term data sets of the LTER to explore how reduced snowpack might influence growing season dynamics in the alpine.
