Climate warming-driven temporal shifts in phenology are widely recognised as the foremost
footprint of global environmental change. In this regard, concerted research efforts are being …

One-third of Germany's land surface area is covered by forest (around 11.4 million hectares),
and thus, it characterizes the landscape. The forest is a habitat for a large number of animal …

Microclimatic effects (light, temperature) are often neglected in phenological studies and
little information is known about the impact of resource availability (nutrient and water) on …

Existing research on autumn vegetation phenology is limited to phenological responses to
gradual climate change. Considerably less attention has been paid to extreme climate …

In temperate forests, leaf phenology is a sensitive indicator of climate change and a major
regulator of seasonal carbon and water cycling. Many studies have documented large intra …

While leaf discoloration of many temperate and boreal tree species has been delayed in
response to global warming, climatic stress such as severe drought can cause premature …

Global change is expected to impact on the distribution and abundance of forests. Spain
represents the southwestern limit of distribution for several types of deciduous forests and …

Predicting the length of growing season to further warming relies on both spring and autumn
phenological responses of different species, but with little experimental evidence under …

Senescence vividly marks the onset of the final stages of the life of a leaf, yet the triggers and
drivers of this process are still not fully understood. The hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is an …

Predicting tree phenology accurately is essential for assessing the impact of climate change
on ecosystems. However, the current process-based models are still hard to fully explain …
