Characterizing and forecasting the responses of tropical forest leaf phenology to El Nino by machine learning algorithms. [PDF]
Climate change and global warming have serious adverse impacts on tropical forests. In particular, climate change may induce changes in leaf phenology.

Leaf phenology amplitude derived from MODIS NDVI and EVI: Maps of leaf phenology synchrony for Meso‐ and South America [PDF]
The leaf phenology (i.e. the seasonality of leaf amount and leaf demography) of ecosystems can be characterized through the use of Earth observation data using a variety of different approaches.

Relationship between tropical leaf phenology and ecosystem productivity using phenocameras
Introduction: The interplay of water and light, regarded as the main driver of tropical plant dynamics, determines leaf phenology and ecosystem productivity.

Understorey light quality affects leaf pigments and leaf phenology in different plant functional types. [PDF]
Abstract Understory plant species take on different functional strategies, whereby some exploit periods of available light in springtime before the canopy closes, and others also benefit from sunlight later in autumn when the canopy opens again.

Larger temperature response of autumn leaf senescence than spring leaf‐out phenology [PDF]
AbstractClimate warming is substantially shifting the leaf phenological events of plants, and thereby impacting on their individual fitness and also on the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Previous studies have largely focused on the climate impact on spring phenology, and to date the processes underlying leaf senescence and their associated ...

AbstractSpring leaf phenology and its response to climate change have crucial effects on surface albedo, carbon balance, and the water cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. Based on long‐term (period 1963–2014) in situ observations of budburst date and leaf unfolding date of more than 300 deciduous woody species from 32 sites across the temperate zone in ...

Declining global warming effects on the phenology of spring leaf unfolding [PDF]
Earlier spring leaf unfolding is a frequently observed response of plants to climate warming. Many deciduous tree species require chilling for dormancy release, and warming-related reductions in chilling may counteract the advance of leaf unfolding in response to warming.

Leaf phenology as an indicator of ecological integrity
AbstractClimate change leads to an increased frequency of severe weather events as well as stressful growing conditions. Together these changes may impact the resilience of ecosystems. To keep track of such effects, conservation managers monitor the “ecological integrity” or coherence of ecosystem processes, such as the cycling of carbon and water ...
