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

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

Provenance-Specific Chilling and Forcing Requirements Shape Spring Phenology in Three European Temperate Tree Species. [PDF]
Winter chilling is essential for dormancy release and spring budburst in temperate trees. Using a climate‐controlled experiment with three species and four European provenances spanning a broad latitudinal gradient, we show that reduced chilling delays budburst and decreases budburst success, with strong species‐ and provenance‐specific differences ...

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

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

Daylength effects on black spruce bud dormancy release change during endo- and ecodormancy
The effects of daylength on bud dormancy release varied throughout the dormant period in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings.
