Description

The investigation consisted of both an outdoor experiment and one conducted indoors in controlledenvironment chambers. Objectives were to determine during late-summer/autumn the effects of (a) the changing daily light/dark (photoperiod/nyctoperiod) pattern, and (b) seasonally lowering temperatures on pre-winter behavior of sweetclover. Measurements were made of certain morphological characteristics and various facets of the winter-hardening process. Both experiments were conducted at the University of Alaska’s Palmer Research Center (61.6°N) in southcentral Alaska.
