Inter-annual variation in climate is reflected by changes in the timing of phenology. Over the
last decades a considerable number of models have been developed in order to explain the …

Modelling phenology is crucial to assess the impact of climate change on the length of the
canopy duration and the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems. Focusing on six dominant …

Abstract Models of phenology are needed for the projection of effects of a changing climate
on, for example, forest production, species competition, vegetation–atmosphere feedback …

Climate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling.
Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events …

The onset of the growing season of trees has been earlier by 2.3 days per decade during the
last 40 years in temperate Europe because of global warming. The effect of temperature on …

Autumnal leaf senescence signals the end of photosynthetic activities in temperate
deciduous trees and consequently exerts a strong control on various ecological processes …

The timing of spring phenology of trees reflects a trade-off between a longer growing season
and a lower risk for damage by late freezing events. Temperature is driving rates of …

With global warming, an advance in spring leaf phenology has been reported worldwide.
However, it is difficult to forecast phenology for a given species, due to a lack of knowledge …

In boreal and temperate trees, air temperature is a major environmental factor regulating the
timing of spring phenological events, such as vegetative bud burst, through underlying …

A phenology model for estimating the timings of bud burst–one of the most influential
phenological phases for the simulation of tree growth–is presented in this study. The model …
