A life history timeline for sexual recruits censused via aerial photography.

Abstract

<p>Monthly abbreviations are positively scaled to mean relative wave energy (RWE; J/m) and color graded to mean bottom-water temperature (proportion of days within optimal range). All means were calculated using the appropriate offset relative to spring census; annual marks describe the direction of offset. Bottom arrows denote significant life history stages during the inference period for sexual recruitment: i.e., (1) floral induction, (2) flower development, (3) anthesis, (4) embryo development and seed dehiscence, (5) seed bank, (6) seedling emergence, (7) patch development, and (8) photographic census.</p
