Vegetation phenology is highly sensitive to climate change. Phenology also controls many
feedbacks of vegetation to the climate system by influencing the seasonality of albedo …

Autumn remains a relatively neglected season in climate change research in temperate and
arctic ecosystems. This neglect occurs despite the importance of autumn events, including …

Urban environments, regarded as “harbingers” of future global change, may exert positive or
negative impacts on urban vegetation growth. Because of limited ground-based …

The timing of the end of the vegetation growing season (EOS) plays a key role in terrestrial
ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycles. Autumn phenology is, however, still poorly …

Leaf senescence in winter deciduous species signals the transition from the active to the
dormant stage. The purpose of leaf senescence is the recovery of nutrients before the leaves …

Low environmental temperatures promote anthocyanin accumulation and fruit colouration by
up‐regulating the expression of genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation …

Phenology affects nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Virtually all biological
phenomena—from individual physiology to interspecific relationships to global nutrient …

Leafing‐out of woody plants begins the growing season in temperate forests and is one of
the most important drivers of ecosystem processes. There is substantial variation in the …

Autumn senescence regulates multiple aspects of ecosystem function, along with associated
feedbacks to the climate system. Despite its importance, current understanding of the drivers …

Abstract Background and Aims Many individual studies have shown that the timing of leaf
senescence in boreal and temperate deciduous forests in the northern hemisphere is …
