Water Addition Prolonged the Length of the Growing Season of the Desert Shrub Nitraria tangutorum in a Temperate Desert

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Climate models often predict that more extreme precipitation events will occur in arid and semiarid regions, where plant phenology is particularly sensitive to precipitation changes.

Land surface phenology detections from multi-source remote sensing indices capturing canopy photosynthesis phenology across major land cover types in the Northern Hemisphere

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Land surface phenology, which records the start of growing season (SOS) and the end of growing season (EOS), plays an essential part in reflecting plant photosynthesis and the response of carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems to climate change ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Divergence in leaf and cambium phenologies among three temperate tree species of different wood types with special reference to xylem hydraulics

Frontiers in Plant Science
Leaf and cambium phenologies are both important aspects of tree environmental adaptation in temperate areas. Temperate tree species with non-porous, diffuse-porous and ring-porous woods diverge substantially in the strategy of coping with freezing ...

Warming Events Advance or Delay Spring Phenology by Affecting Bud Dormancy Depth in Trees

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The frequency of sudden, strong warming events is projected to increase in the future. The effects of such events on spring phenology of trees might depend on their timing because spring warming has generally been shown to advance spring budburst while ...

Shifting leaf fall phenology disrupts ecosystem function

Current Biology
Leaf litter fall and processing in temperate streams is one of the most pervasive resource subsidies and ecosystem functions globally.1,2,3 These subsidies are highly seasonally structured, yet their phenologies are shifting with climate change due to alterations of leaf senescence with global warming.4,5,6 As phenology and phenological changes are ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.
