Introducing a Sensor to Measure Budburst and its Environmental Drivers [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Budburst is a key adaptive trait that can help us understand how plants respond to a changing climate from the molecular to landscape scale. Despite this, acquisition of budburst data is currently constrained by a lack of information at the plant scale ...

Oklahoma Deciduous Trees Differ in Chilling Enhancement of Budburst

Oklahoma Native Plant Record, 2014
In many tree species, winter chilling accelerates budburst in response to spring warmth. Global climate change has already accelerated budburst in deciduous tree species around the world. But as global climate change leads to milder winters, tree species

Spatial Difference of Interactive Effect Between Temperature and Daylength on Ginkgo Budburst

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Climate warming-induced shifts in spring phenology have substantially affected the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems and global biogeochemical cycles.

Inter-Individual Budburst Variation in Fagus sylvatica Is Driven by Warming Rate

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The onset of the growing season in temperate forests is relevant for forest ecology and biogeochemistry and is known to occur earlier with climate change.

Real Life Science with Dandelions and Project BudBurst

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2016
Project BudBurst is a national citizen-science project that tracks bloom times and other phenological data for plants across the country. Data from Project BudBurst are being used to measure the effects of climate change. Students can participate in this

Light pollution is associated with earlier tree budburst across the United Kingdom [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
ArticleThe ecological impact of night-time lighting is of concern because of its well-demonstrated effects on animal behaviour. However, the potential of light pollution to change plant phenology and its corresponding knock-on effects on associated ...

Budburst timing within a functional trait framework

Journal of Ecology
Abstract Phenology, the timing of recurring life history events, can vary substantially in different environments and for different species. While climate change has shifted phenology by altering its environmental triggers, such as temperature, changes in the drivers

Local Adaptation for Seasonal Cold Tolerance in a High-Elevation Conifer Species, Subalpine Larch (<i>Larix lyallii</i> Parl.). [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Subalpine larch (Larix lyallii Parl.) is a deciduous conifer that only grows at treeline in the Cascade Range and Rocky Mountains of western North America. This habitat is shrinking due to climate change but subalpine larch is unlikely to migrate or adapt in situ and is therefore at risk of maladaptation and eventual extirpation.

Native trees are related to advanced bird breeding phenology and increased reproductive success along an urban gradient. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Urban areas are altered from natural landscapes in several ways that can impact wildlife. Birds are widespread in urban areas, and it is well documented that there are phenotypic differences between urban and non‐urban conspecifics. However, little is known about which characteristics of the urban environment are driving differences. We used 9

Experimental Warming Does Not Change Fluctuating Asymmetry in Three Willow Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We tested whether leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) responds to experimental warming in three boreal willow species using open‐top chambers and blind measurements. While warming increased specific leaf area, neither leaf length nor FA showed significant responses, and FA did not differ among species or individuals.
