Example plots with overarching structures to intercept and redistribute precipitation. Panels (not shown) are placed over the structure to intercept rainfall that is excluded from the plots for the drought treatment, or temporarily stored in water storage tanks (black structure, center) to be redistributed later to simulate delayed monsoon precipitation.
