Plant phenology, the annually recurring sequence of plant developmental stages, is
important for plant functioning and ecosystem services and their biophysical and …

Evolutionary responses are required for tree populations to be able to track climate change.
Results of 250 years of common garden experiments show that most forest trees have …

Research on woody plant species highlights three major cues that shape spring
phenological events: chilling, forcing and photoperiod. Increasing research on the …

Analyses of datasets throughout the temperate midlatitude regions show a widespread
tendency for species to advance their springtime phenology, consistent with warming trends …

Phenology is a key aspect of plant and animal life strategies that determines the ability to
capture seasonally variable resources. It defines the season and duration of growth and …

Key message We demonstrate that, beyond leaf phenology, the phenological cycles of wood
and fine roots present clear responses to environmental drivers in temperate and boreal …

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 …

Plant phenology is the study of the timing of recurrent biological events and the causes of
their timing with regard to biotic and abiotic forces. Plant phenology affects the structure and …

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 …

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