Relationship between Winter Snow Cover Dynamics, Climate and Spring Grassland Vegetation Phenology in Inner Mongolia, China [PDF]
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019 The onset date of spring phenology (SOS) is regarded as a key parameter for understanding and modeling vegetation–climate interactions. Inner Mongolia has a typical temperate grassland vegetation ecosystem, and has a rich snow cover during winter ...

How microclimate influences the spring phenological responses to decreased snow cover in four tree species seedlings in a boreal forest [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHeat accumulation and spring freeze, both strongly influenced by snow cover, are key factors regulating the onset of spring phenology. In forest ecosystems, decreased snow cover due to climate change may differently impact heat accumulation and the ...
