Earlier spring snowmelt drives arrowleaf balsamroot phenology in montane meadows

Ecosphere, 2022
Climate change is shifting phenology globally, altering when and how species respond to environmental cues such as temperature and the timing of snowmelt.

A longer vernal window: The role of winter coldness and snowpack in driving spring thresholds and lags [PDF]

, 2017
Climate change is altering the timing and duration of the vernal window, a period that marks the end of winter and the start of the growing season when rapid transitions in ecosystem energy, water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics take place.

Best environmental predictors of breeding phenology differ with elevation in a common woodland bird species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Temperatures in mountain areas are increasing at a higher rate than the Northern Hemisphere land average, but how fauna may respond, in particular in terms of phenology, remains poorly understood.

Complex relationships between climate and reproduction in a resident montane bird

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Animals use climate-related environmental cues to fine-tune breeding timing and investment to match peak food availability. In birds, spring temperature is a commonly documented cue used to initiate breeding, but with global climate change, organisms are

Plant phenology and seasonal nitrogen availability in Arctic snowbed communities [PDF]

, 2006
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2006This study was part of the International Tundra Experiment (ITEX) and examined the effects of increased winter snow depth and decreased growing season length on the phenology of four arctic plant species (

Long‐term monitoring reveals biomass loss and concurrent dominance changes in coastal zooplankton community

Ecography, EarlyView.
Anthropogenically induced changes in environmental conditions have been affecting species communities globally, leading to shifts in ecosystem functioning. Physical drivers like temperature, salinity and acidification are especially important in coastal ecosystems, and high‐resolution time‐series are essential to identify how these variables affect ...

Using by‐catch data from wildlife surveys to quantify climatic parameters and timing of phenology for plants and animals using camera traps

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Gaining a better understanding of global environmental change is an important challenge for conserving biodiversity. Shifts in phenology are an important consequence of environmental change.

Mapping forests in monsoon Asia with ALOS PALSAR 50-m mosaic images and MODIS imagery in 2010. [PDF]

, 2016
Extensive forest changes have occurred in monsoon Asia, substantially affecting climate, carbon cycle and biodiversity. Accurate forest cover maps at fine spatial resolutions are required to qualify and quantify these effects. In this study, an algorithm

Human appreciation of flower colours as cultural ecosystem service in grasslands: A methodological approach

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
This literature‐based method estimates human appreciation of flower colours on target grasslands. Step 1: search literature sources (floristic surveys, national floras, web datasets and preference studies). Step 2: flower trait extraction (flower colour and area, flowering period and human colour appreciation scale).
