Who uses phenology data and how do they use it?

How are managers and decision makers using phenology data?

Assessing forest vulnerability to climate change

Phenology is changing rapidly This affects species distributions, abundance, interactions, and more Monitoring will inform adaptive refuge management

Recent research in spring phenology

What makes plants put on leaves in the spring? Day of year Accumulated heat (eg, Growing degree days) Jan 1 Mar 1

What makes plants put on leaves in the spring? Day of year Accumulated heat (eg, Growing degree days) Species x Jan 1 Mar 1

What makes plants put on leaves in the spring? Day of year Accumulated heat (eg, Growing degree days) Species y Jan 1 Mar 1

Does it matter whether the warmth happens during the day or night? Piao et al., Nature Climate Change

Findings: Leaf unfolding triggered more by daytime temps than nighttime temps Piao et al., Nature Climate Change

Importance: Can improve predictions of leaf- out Piao et al., Nature Climate Change

How can we determine the heat requirement for leaf-out for a particular species? Day of year Accumulated heat (eg, Growing degree days) Jan 1 Mar 1 ?

How are your observations used?

Fu et al., Global Change Biology

What about chill requirements? Fu et al., Global Change Biology

What about chill requirements? Fu et al., Global Change Biology It matters! Over period : Temps increased ~1.4ºC Heat requirement increased 50%

What about chill requirements? Fu et al., Global Change Biology It matters! Warmer winters could delay leaf-out in the spring
