| Abstract | Objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the consistency of the reproductive pattern of Yucca elata in 1983 with that of 1973; 2) to compare fruit production in four habitats along a topographic-edaphic gradient, and ; 3) to determine the best means of predicting the number of fruits produced by Y. elata using caudex height, leaf volume, infructescence stalk volume, stalk height, and stalk diameter at base. |
