Monitoring of cherry flowering phenology with Google Trends. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Google Trends (GT) is an online tool designed for searching for changes over time. We assessed its use for evaluating changes in the timing of cherry flowering phenology, which is of intense interest to Japanese people.

Higher thermal plasticity in flowering phenology increases flowering output [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionOngoing climate change poses an increasing threat to biodiversity. To avoid decline or extinction, species need to either adjust or adapt to new environmental conditions or track their climatic niches across space.

Molecular mechanisms of flowering phenology in trees. [PDF]
For Res (Fayettev), 2023 Flower initiation is a phenological developmental process strictly regulated in all flowering plants. Studies in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant organism in plant biology and genetics, and major cereal crops have provided fundamental knowledge and understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms and regulation in annuals.

Intraspecific Variation in Functional Traits of Medicago sativa Determine the Effect of Plant Diversity and Nitrogen Addition on Flowering Phenology in a One-Year Common Garden Experiment [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Nitrogen deposition and biodiversity alter plant flowering phenology through abiotic factors and functional traits. However, few studies have considered their combined effects on flowering phenology.

The influence of climate warming on flowering phenology in relation to historical annual and seasonal temperatures and plant functional traits [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Climate warming has the potential to influence plant flowering phenology which in turn can have broader ecological consequences. Herbarium collections offer a source of historical plant data that makes possible the ability to document and better ...

Flowering Phenology and the Influence of Seasonality in Flower Conspicuousness for Bees. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2020 Flowering patterns are crucial to understand the dynamics of plant reproduction and resource availability for pollinators. Seasonal climate constrains flower and leaf phenology, where leaf and flower colors likely differ between seasons. Color is the main floral trait attracting pollinators; however, seasonal changes in the leaf-background coloration ...

Flowering Phenology Shifts in Response to Functional Traits, Growth Form, and Phylogeny of Woody Species in a Desert Area [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Climatic factors are considered the major driving forces for variation of flowering phenology among species. Yet, whether flowering phenology of woody species varies with functional traits, growth form, and phylogeny in arid regions is unknown.

Synchronous Pulsed Flowering: Analysis of the Flowering Phenology in Juncus (Juncaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 The timing of flowering within and among individuals is of fundamental biological importance because of its influence on total seed production and, ultimately, fitness. Traditional descriptive parameters of flowering phenology focus on onset and duration of flowering and on synchrony among individuals.

The mid-domain effect in flowering phenology. [PDF]
Plant DiversThe timing of flowering is an important driver of species distribution and community assembly patterns. However, we still have much to learn about the factors that shape flowering diversity (i.e., number of species flowering per period) in plant communities.

Flowering Phenology Adjustment and Flower Longevity in a South American Alpine Species. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2021 Delayed flowering due to later snowmelt and colder temperatures at higher elevations in the alpine are expected to lead to flowering phenological adjustment to prevent decoupling of peak flowering from the warmest time of the year, thereby favoring pollination.
