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 …

Plants are finely tuned to the seasonality of their environment, and shifts in the timing of plant
activity (ie phenology) provide some of the most compelling evidence that species and …

Global climate change impacts can already be tracked in many physical and biological
systems; in particular, terrestrial ecosystems provide a consistent picture of observed …

Climate is a potent selective force in natural populations, yet the importance of adaptation in
the response of plant species to past climate change has been questioned. As many species …

Research in phenology change has been one heated topic of current ecological and climate
change study. In this study, we use satellite derived NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation …

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 …

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 …

The arid and semiarid region in central Asia is sensitive and vulnerable to climate variations.
However, the sparse and highly unevenly distributed meteorological stations in the region …

Climate is changing at a fast pace, causing widespread, profound consequences for living
organisms. Failure to adjust the timing of life-cycle events to climate may jeopardize …

An increasing number of studies have reported on shifts in timing and length of the growing
season, based on phenological, satellite and climatological studies. The evidence points to …
