Winter is a key driver of individual performance, community composition, and ecological
interactions in terrestrial habitats. Although climate change research tends to focus on …

Plant phenology research has gained increasing attention because of the sensitivity of
phenology to climate change and its consequences for ecosystem function. Recent …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Phenological responses to climate change (eg, earlier leaf-out or egg hatch date) are now
well documented and clearly linked to rising temperatures in recent decades. Such shifts in …

Differences in phenological responses to climate change among species can desynchronise
ecological interactions and thereby threaten ecosystem function. To assess these threats …

Climate change is expected to increase future temperatures, potentially resulting in reduced
crop production in many key production regions. Research quantifying the complex …

Accurate predictions of spring plant phenology with climate change are critical for
projections of growing seasons, plant communities and a number of ecosystem services …

Phenology—the timing of biological events—is highly sensitive to climate change. However,
our general understanding of how phenology responds to climate change is based almost …

Box 9E. 1 Continued FIGURE 2. The C–S–R triangle model (Grime 1979). The strategies at
the three corners are C, competiti-winning species; S, stress-tolerating s-cies; R …

Ongoing climate change can shift organism phenology in ways that vary depending on
species, habitats and climate factors studied. To probe for large-scale patterns in associated …
