Hi,
We are presently running an experiment that examines the interactions between annuals and Sedum plants. In the experiment, we have crossed the dispersion (uniform or clumped) of the sedum with presence and absence of annuals. We are trying to quantify the developmental success of the Sedum among the different treatments. Because they are small plots and we want repetitive measurements, we need to find a non-invasive way of measuring biomass or some proxy. That is, we cannot simply remove samples for measurement. We do not think that we can quantify this by photographing because the annuals cover much of the Sedum in the Sedum + annual plots. The experiment is still running so cannot weigh some/all the biomass... Any suggestions of how to quantify the plant (Sedum) developmental success to make treatment comparisons. Help would be appreciated! Amiel
