Experimental warming differentially affects vegetative and reproductive phenology of tundra plants
Rapid climate warming is altering Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystem structure and function, including shifts in plant phenology. While the advancement of green up and flowering are well-documented, it remains unclear whether all phenophases ...

Social Impact StatementIn the face of the unprecedented rate of climate change, understanding whether plant species can track favourable climatic conditions is an urgent challenge. Recent independent studies suggest that the timing of fruiting (fruiting phenology) can strongly affect future vegetation dynamics and composition via direct seed dispersal.

Influences of Shifted Vegetation Phenology on Runoff Across a Hydroclimatic Gradient
Climate warming has changed vegetation phenology, and the phenology-associated impacts on terrestrial water fluxes remain largely unquantified. The impacts are linked to plant adjustments and responses to climate change and can be different in different ...

Comparison of phenology models for predicting the onset of growing season over the Northern Hemisphere. [PDF]
Vegetation phenology models are important for examining the impact of climate change on the length of the growing season and carbon cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. However, large uncertainties in present phenology models make accurate assessment of the

Climate influences net primary productivity (NPP) either directly or indirectly via phenology. Therefore, clarifying the indirect effects of climate on NPP through phenology is of utmost importance.

Vegetation phenology in spring has substantially advanced under climate warming, consequently shifting the seasonality of ecosystem process and altering biosphere–atmosphere feedbacks.

The mechanisms of phenology: the patterns and processes of phenological shifts
AbstractSpecies across a wide range of taxa and habitats are shifting phenological events in response to climate change. While advances are common, shifts vary in magnitude and direction within and among species, and the basis for this variation is relatively unknown. We examine previously suggested patterns of variation in phenological shifts in order

Indirect influences of phenology on productivity (e.g., phenology-functional traits-productivity) could exist due to close associations between phenology and plant functional traits, which may further result in the divergent responses of vegetation ...

The phenology of the subnivium
The subnivium is a seasonal refuge that exists at the interface between the snowpack and the ground, and provides a haven for a diversity of species to survive extreme winter temperatures. Due to the fitness of many plants and animals being strongly influenced by winter conditions, much attention has been given to changes in the timing of snow cover ...
