Summary: Hot, dry, standard field work, reset phenocam clock.

Vaira
2015-09-01

I arrived about 9:30 with Siyan. It was clear, sunny and hot with little to no wind. Things are very dry and dusty. Some of the trees are beginning to turn brown. The standing grass litter is not as thick as last year, but I probably need to cut it back around the fence again.

I collected data from the computer. The Phenocam clock was running about 10 minutes ahead. I reset it a little after 9am PST.

Siyan took clip plots, moisture point and spectral measurements.
