A primary factor affecting crop development is temperature, as modulated by other factors
including daylength, vernalization, heat and cold stress, and water stress. The rate of …

This paper evaluates a set of candidate phenology models for simulating grapevine
development under present conditions and future climate change scenarios. The models …

An accurate irrigation scheduling methodology is necessary in crops with high water stress
sensitivity and production cost. This involves the estimation of the scheduling parameters …

Phenology is a reliable biological indicator for reflecting climate change. An examination of
changes in crop phenology and the mechanisms driving them is critical for guiding regional …

The emergence of Russia as a major grain exporter is not only crucial for the world
commercial agriculture and food security, but also for the country's economy. Here we …

In drylands, water‐limited regions that cover~ 40% of the global land surface, ecosystems
are primarily controlled by access to soil moisture and exposure to simultaneously hot and …

Background: Undisturbed high elevation treelines follow a common growing season
isotherm, irrespective of latitude. Small stature plants thrive at much higher elevations …

Phenological synchronisms between apical and lateral meristems could clarify some
aspects related to the physiological relationships among the different organs of trees. This …

Four maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds representing genetic differences in seedling cold
tolerance were used to determine the effect of growth temperatures on dry weight …

Natural populations of ectothermic oviparous vertebrates typically experience thermal
variability in their incubation environment. Yet an overwhelming number of laboratory …
