Left: An Automated Rainfall Manipulation System consisting of a rainout shelter (background) to intercept rainfall and an irrigation system (foreground) for creating drought and wet year precipitation treatments.

Right: Close-up of emerging velvet mesquite (Prosopis velutina) seedlings with evidence of herbivory following recent monsoon season rainfall.
