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 project by watching any of the plants on the list, including the common dandelion, which makes the ...

Alternative budburst inducers for kiwifruit vines grown in an organic system [PDF]
Lack of budburst inducers is a major problem in organic production of temperate fruits. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of alternative budburst inducers on kiwifruit vines of cultivar Bruno grown in an orchard in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul (RS),

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 also experience less chilling, which may actually delay spring budburst in some species.

Relationship Between Chilling and Heat in Budburst Regulation of Peaches for Protected Cultivation [PDF]
The chilling requirement and heat requirement of 10 peach cultivars were investigated.And the relationship between chilling requirement and heat requirement,as well as the effect of different chilling accumulation on heat requirement were also systematically studied.There were no regular relations observed between vegetative buds and floral buds on the

Budbreak plays an important role in the grapevine growing cycle and temperature is its main driver. Therefore, phenological models use two temperature-based approaches to simulate budbreak: a chilling-forcing scheme, which describes either endo- and eco ...

Analysis of the observed and modelled budburst dates of grapevine in Croatia [PDF]
Since changes in temperatures and precipitation significantly affect the biosphere, viticulture as an important economic branch in the moderate latitudes (e.g., mainly between 35°N and 55°N) is strongly influenced by climate change.

Quantifying Phenology in the Deciduous Tree and Phytophagous Insect System: A Methodological Comparison. [PDF]
Our study investigates the methodological and biological relationships between phenological metrics, measured by different field methods, of primary producers (deciduous trees) and primary consumers (Lepidopteran larvae) that depend on synchronous spring timing.

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 constrained by a lack of information at the plant scale on the environmental stimuli associated with the release of bud dormancy.

Low but significant evolutionary potential for growth, phenology and reproduction traits in European beech. [PDF]
Abstract Local survival of forest tree populations under climate change depends on existing genetic variation and their adaptability to changing environments. Responses to selection were studied in European beech (Fagus sylvatica) under field conditions.
