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 …

Vegetation phenology is considered an important biological indicator in understanding the
behaviour of ecosystems and how it responds to environmental cues. Changes in vegetation …

This paper summarizes a broad range of studies that have examined influences of recent
climate change on plant phenology or distribution. Spring events such as leafing and …

While changes in spring phenological events due to global warming have been widely
documented, changes in autumn phenology, and therefore in growing season length, are …

Quantifying the response of vegetation Net Primary Productivity (NPP) to phenological
dynamics is critical to study climate change effects on ecosystem dynamics in the high …

The timing of spring bud‐burst and leaf development in temperate, boreal and Arctic trees
and shrubs fluctuates from year to year, depending on meteorological conditions. Over …

Snow is considered a vital component in the northern climate system, however, our
understanding of the impacts of snowmelt on spring phenological shifts is still limited for high …

Birch forests cover large areas of the northern Fennoscandia and the mountain birch (Betula
pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) often forming the altitudinal and Arctic forest and tree lines …

Purpose Treelines and forest lines (TFLs) have received growing interest in recent decades,
due to their potential role as indicators of climate change. However, the understanding of …

Northern Fennoscandia is an ecologically heterogeneous region in the arctic/alpine-boreal
transition area. Phenology data on birch from 13 stations and 16-day MODIS-NDVI …
